As long as you are Christened you can marry in an Orthodox church - but you will need quite a bit of paper work translated.

Roman Catholic AnswerA Catholic is required to marry in front of a priest, preferably his pastor, or someone whom his pastor has delegated. He may marry elsewhere with a dispensation (if such a dispensation is given). You should talk to your parish priest about this.

Yes. The Catholic Church recognizes all marriages contracted between baptized people as valid sacramental marriages, no matter to which church they belong. It also recognizes marriages between unbaptized people as valid, though not sacramental ("natural") marriages.

Only if a Catholic marries outside of the Catholic Church without consent of the Church authorities or only in a civil ceremony, then that marriage is not recognized as valid, because Catholics are bound by form. A Catholic who has married this way may convalidate his/her marriage afterwards however - which this, the Church recognizes retroactively that a valid marriage was contracted. (This is called "sanatio in radice" - "healing at the root".)

I was baptized a Roman Catholic but confirmed Orthodox and I married a Greek Orthodox can I have my nephew baptized in a Catholic Church?

Since you are confirmed Orthodox and married a Greek Orthodox, the Orthodox Church requires that any children you may have should be baptized Orthodox. Also, as an Orthodox, you are not allowed to baptize your nephew or any other person in a catholic church. From the Catholic point of view, unless your nephew is to be reared a Catholic, he may not be baptized in the Catholic Church. If he is to be reared Catholic, either by his parents or godparents, the Church will receive him. No you are GREEK orthodox u must not I reapeat not baptisma your child at a catholic church.

If you are married in the Russian Orthodox Church is it possible to be married again in a Roman Catholic Church?

Assuming no divorce has taken place, which would require an annulment, yes, if you have changed from Orthodox to Catholic it would be possible to renew your wedding vows in a Catholic Church. There would be no need for a full blown wedding, however, as the Catholic Church does accept the sacraments of the Orthodox Church as valid.

Can a divorced greek orthodox woman marry a catholic man in a catholic church if her first marriage was annulled by the greek church?

The answers is no, if he wasn't divorced,yes,because the catholic church recognises the orthodox church as valid since they were one church before.However if he is divorced he is not allowed in either catholic or orthodox. A Catholic can marry any non- Catholic, and it is recognized as a sacrament in the Catholic church. Only when the individual has been previously married there is an issue. In which case that individual must have their previous marriage annuled. The Catholic church permits Catholics to marry in the Orthodox church and it is a sacrament. I have spoken to Catholic priests and Catholic Bishops and they do not see a problem with a Greek annulment, as being an impediment. If that individual did not have their marriage previously annulled than it would be an issue.

Are orthodox parishioners Catholic?

They depends on whether you meant to capitalize Orthodox or not. The Orthodox Church is not Catholic, they split from the Catholic Church officially in the 12th century. If you orthodox as believing in the Church doctrines, then that is the only kind of parishioner that is a real Catholic. Anyone who is not orthodox in his belief, is by definition, heterodox, otherwise known as a protestant, even if they still maintain nominal membership in the Catholic Church.
