Sedevacantism is the belief that the See of Rome is vacant - that is, they believe that the Pope is not really the Pope. Being Catholic means being in communion with the bishop of Rome, the pope.

The ritual and theology may be catholic in some sense, or reflective of a particular period in Catholic history, but in itself that does not make a person or a group Catholic.
