If your first spouse is still living and there was no anullment, then it is very surprising that a Catholic priest agreed to officiate at your second wedding. Only an expert can say for certain, but it is unlikely that your second marriage is valid in the eyes of the Church.

Does a divorced Baptist man need an annulment to marry a Catholic in the Catholic Church?
A divorced Baptist male may or may not need an annulment of his prior marriage from the Catholic Church in order to marry a Catholic in the Catholic Church. Although Baptists are able to re-marry after divorce, Catholics may divorce but may not re-marry unless the sacrament of the first marriage has been declared null. If the divorced Baptist did not have a valid Christian marriage (that is, one spouse was not a validly baptized Christian, or the ceremony was not Christian, then the annulment process is much simpler - but any prior marrriages still need to be declared null). If the first marriage was a valid Christian ceremony, then the couple desiring a marriage in the Catholic church will have to go through the 'formal' annulment process which takes considerably longer and is very thorough but very worthwhile if you love this person. The Catholic person cannot enter into a valid marriage unless this is done.

You are divorced and want to marry your Catholic partner in the Catholic church can you do this?
If you and your partner are same sex, no. If you were not married previously in a Catholic church, yes.

Can you marry in a Catholic Church in Italy you are divorced but did not marry in a Catholic Church?
If you are divorced, you CANNOT marry in any Catholic church anywhere in the world. In the Catholic church's eye, you are still married once you are divorced. Therefore, you are committing adultery by remarrying.If you want to remarry, you should get an annulment. This completely erases the former marriage.If you are divorced, baptized Catholic, and were not married in a Catholic church or marriage not validated by a Catholic priest, but were married in a civil ceremony or a non Catholic Church, then you CAN be married in a Catholic Church, with proper dispensation. You shouild see a priest in this case; otherwise you need an annullment.Roman Catholic AnswerThe above answer is a little confused, if you have been married and are divorced, then you are still married in the eyes of the Church and can not get married again unless your first spouse dies. If there was some defect with the first marriage AND IT WAS NOT VALID IN THE FIRST PLACE, then you can get an annulment which is nothing more than the Church's declaration that the first attempted marriage never took place validly. The Church has no power to "completely erase" any valid marriage. If your marriage was valid, then you will be denied an annulment. In the last case mentioned above, you were a Catholic but did not marry in front of a priest, then you did not fulfuill the requirements for a valid marriage, and your attempted marriage could be annulled.

Can a man married and divorced by the state and divorced marry a Catholic woman?
You mean he got married and divorced by a minister who is not a priest or deacon, without the Catholic church's blessing? If this is what you are asking, the answer turns on: 1) Was the man Catholic? If he was, then the Church will not recognize his first marriage unless he got permission from his bishop to get married by the state. So, because he was never married, he won't have any difficulties marrying a Catholic woman who has never been married in the Catholic Church after receiving an annulment (a decree that no marriage ever existed). 2) If the man was not Catholic at the time of the first marriage, the church WILL recognize it. He will need to submit for an decree of nullity (an annulment) to see if the marriage was valid or not. If it was not valid he may marry after the decree is issued, otherwise, no.
