Dominicans, Opus Dei, Rad Trad types are Catholic in as they follow the Rituals and use the Vulgate Bible, but they don't see eye to eye on the authority of the Pope.
Not quite a Rome and Avignon situation, because they do like to partake of the wealth of the Roman Catholic Organization, but they have no problems saying the Pope "ain't the Boss of them "- the God between their ears apparently is.
