It is not essential. If it were, a problem with the catalog would make backup or recovery operations impossible. But you should certainly conenct to the catalog if you can in order to keep the catalog repository up to day. You must connect at leat as frequently as your controlfile_record_keep_time to be sure of not losing information.
