----------------------
The phrase "Catholic despite Rome" is often used by Catholics who disagree with the Catholic Church's hierarchy on certain issues, such as LGBTQ+ rights or women's ordination. It can also be used by people who identify as Catholic but have left the Catholic Church, either formally or informally.
The phrase suggests that it is possible to be Catholic without adhering to all of the Church's teachings. This is a controversial view, as some Catholics believe that it is impossible to be truly Catholic without being in full communion with the Pope and the Catholic Church's hierarchy.
There are a number of reasons why people might identify as "Catholic despite Rome." Some people may disagree with the Church's teachings on certain social or moral issues. Others may feel that the Church has become too bureaucratic or too focused on power. Still others may have been hurt or disappointed by the Church in some way.
Whatever the reason, people who identify as "Catholic despite Rome" often still feel a deep connection to the Catholic faith. They may still attend Mass, pray the Rosary, or participate in other Catholic devotions. They may also still believe in the core teachings of the Catholic Church, such as the belief in one God, the Trinity, and the divinity of Jesus Christ.
It is important to note that the phrase "Catholic despite Rome" is a complex and nuanced one. It can mean different things to different people. For some people, it is a way of expressing their disagreement with the Church's hierarchy. For others, it is a way of identifying as Catholic despite having left the Church. And for still others, it is a way of claiming a more personal and individualized form of Catholicism.
