Can a divorced man get his child baptized when child was coceved out of wedlock?
Yes, a divorced man can usually get his child baptized even if the child was conceived out of wedlock. The church's main concern is the spiritual well-being of the child, and baptism is usually available to all children regardless of their parents' marital status. It's best to check with the specific church or religious institution for their individual policies on this matter.
Do you have to be confirmed in a Catholic Church to marry a Catholic?
no, you do not have to be Catholic as long as one of you are catholic. Addition: I'm not sure who left that last answer, but it's sadly inadequate. Yes, you have to be confirmed in order to be married in the Catholic Church. However I have sometimes seen priests make exceptions for couples who are in the process of getting confirmed but who will not complete their confirmation classes before their wedding date. The first person seems to have answered another question entirely, which is, can a catholic marry a non-catholic in a catholic church. The answer to that question is, yes it is possible, but you need to receive a special dispensation from the priest who is marrying you. Both answers are wrong. Church Law does NOT require Confirmation for a Catholic to be married in a Catholic Church, though it is encouraged. Baptized Catholics have a right to a Church wedding, provided they have no impediments (prior marriage, etc). The Bishop is the only person who can deny someone a Catholic wedding. If a priest, on his own denies someone a wedding without valid reason, they need to be reported to their local diocese. Talk to a good priest and he will answer your questions. there are a lot of uninformed answers on this forum.
What is it called when you break off from the Roman Catholic Church and create your own religion?
Roman Catholic AnswerSchism is a willful separation from the unity of the Christian Church (Catholic Church). Heresy is to pertinaciously deny or doubt any of the truths that must be believed with divine and Catholic faith while remaining nominally a Christian.Apostasy is the total rejection by a baptized person of the Christian faith he once professed.So, to answer your question: if the person "breaks away" from the Church to create another religion as in the Orthodox Church, the Society of St. Pius X, or others, while retaining most of the Christian faith but denying the authority of the Pope, then it is called schism.If the person "breaks away" and creates a religion that they maintain is Christian but denies most Christian beliefs, such as the protestant, and others, then they are heretics.If the person "breaks away" to create a religion such as paganism, witchcraft, Jim Jones, and other non-Christian religions, then they are an apostate.

Which was in conflict with the teachings of the Catholic Church?
Heresy refers to any doctrinal belief held in opposition to a teaching of the Church. The word has a very specific meaning in this regard, a heretic is anyone who, after having received baptism and while remaining nominally a Christian, pertinaciously denies or doubts ANY of the truths that must be believed with divine and Catholic faith, and thus is considered a heretic.
What is a denial of Church doctrine?
Roman Catholic AnswerThe denial of the teachings of the Catholic Church is called Heresy. from Modern Catholic Dictionary by John A. Hardon, S.J. Doubleday & Co., Inc. Garden City, NY 1980Heresy. Commonly refers to a doctrinal belief held in opposition to the recognized standards of an establish system of thought. Theologically it means an opinion at variance with the authorized teachings of any church, notably the Christian, and especially when this promotes separation from the main body of faithful believers.In the Roman Catholic Church, heresy has a very specific meaning. Anyone who, after receiving baptism, while remaining nominally a Christian, pertinaciously denies or doubts any of the truths that must be believed with divine and Catholic faith is considered a heretic. Accordingly four elements must be verified to constitute formal heresy; previous valid baptism, which need not have been in the Catholic Church; external profession of still being a Christian, otherwise a person becomes an apostate; outright denial or positive doubt regarding a truth that the Catholic Church has actually proposed as revealed by God; and the disbelief must be morally culpable, where a nominal Christian refuses to accept what he knows is a doctrinal imperative.Objectively, therefore, to become a heretic in the strict canonical sense and be excommunicated from the faithful, one must deny or question a truth that is taught not merely on the authority of the Church but on the word of God revealed in the Scriptures or sacred tradition. Subjectively a person must recognize his obligation to believe. If he acts in good faith, as with most persons brought up in non-Catholic surroundings, the heresy is only material and implies neither guilt nor sin against faith. (Etym. Latin haeresis, from the Greek hairesis, a taking, choice, sect, heresy.)
What is a false teaching that contradicts teaching of the Church?
Roman Catholic AnswerIt sounds like you are thinking of heresy, which is the denial of some truth of the Catholic Church: from The Catechism of the Catholic Church, second edition, English translation 19942089 Incredulity is the neglect of revealed truth or the willful refusal to assent to it. "Heresy is the obstinate post-baptismal denial of some truth which must be believed with divine and catholic faith, or it is likewise an obstinate doubt concerning the same; apostasy is the total repudiation of the Christian faith; schism is the refusal of submission to the Roman Pontiff or of communion with the members of the Church subject to him." (Codex Iuris Canonici, canon 751: emphasis added.)from Modern Catholic Dictionary by John A. Hardon, S.J. Doubleday & Co., Inc. Garden City, NY 1980Heresy.
