Peter III (born Markus Josef Odermatt; 13 March 1966), also known by the religious name Eliseo María de la Santa Faz, is the fourth pope of the Palmarian Catholic Church who, in this capacity, claims to be the 266th pope of the Catholic Church from 22 April 2016 to the present. He succeeded Palmarian Pope Gregory XVIII (Ginés Jesús Hernández), to whom he had earlier served as Palmarian Secretary of State, after Hernández left the Palmarian Church and reconciled with the Vatican.
