Independent Catholicism Independent Catholicism is a movement comprised of clergy and laity who self-identify as Catholic and who form "micro-churches claiming apostolic succession and valid sacraments," despite a lack of affiliation with other Catholic churches, including the Roman Catholic Church. It is virtually impossible to determine the number of jurisdictions, communities, clergy and members who comprise Independent Catholicism, particularly since the movement "is growing and changing in every moment." Many choose Independent Catholicism as an alternative means to live and express their Catholic faith outside the Roman Catholic Church. The structures, beliefs and practices of Independent Catholicism often closely align with those of other Catholic and Christian churches.
