Can a Roman Catholic receive sacraments after marrying an Anglican divorcee?

A person can receive the sacraments if they are free of mortal sin. This may include acting out a marriage that is invalid. A valid marriage of a Catholic is only through the Catholic church. [Note: 2 baptized persons who have never been Roman Catholic, can be validly married.] During the pre-cana process, the church will investigate all impediments (like prior divorces) and sort through them to either approve or deny an impending marriage. The Annullment process for example may be necessitated. If a Catholic is married outside the church (regardless of the spouses religion or marital status) they cannot receive the sacraments. Also, if a person is married to another person who is validly married, then those two persons are committing adultry, which is a mortal sin.

Can a divorced woman with two children remarry a Catholic man in an Anglican church in Australia?
Catholic Answer:Not in the eyes of the Catholic Church. For Catholics, a valid marriage cannot be dissolved through human means. This means that a divorced couple is still married and thus is not free to marry someone else. Add to this the fact that a Catholic is obliged to marry according to the Catholic form of marriage (which usually means marrying inside the Catholic Church) barring dispensation, and this scenario is unlikely to be accepted.The only way that this would be accepted by the Catholic Church is if the divorced party gets an annulment (which means that the Church recognizes that a valid marriage did not occur) and the Catholic man gets dispensation from his bishop from marrying according to the Catholic form. Unless and until the annulment is granted and the dispensation procured it would not be possible to marry and so their marriage would be tantamount to adultery. If the Catholic party consents to this he is in mortal sin and would need to go to confession and regularize his situation before receiving the Sacraments.Literal Answer:Since the Anglican Church is not governed by the beliefs and interpretations of the Catholic Church, there should be no impediment to a divorced Catholic woman marrying in an Anglican church; although, it would be up to the individual church. I have heard that it is actually quite common, and that Catholic priests tend to gravitate to the Anglican Church when they choose to marry.

Why did catholics hate King Henry the VIII for marrying Anne Boleyn?
Two major reasons. First our good friend Henry divorced. In Catholicism, there is no such thing as divorce. So, he leaves the Catholic church and creates the Church of England (aka Episcopal, or Anglican Church) with him at the head. It also didn't help that he began persecuting Catholics after the Anglican churches creation. Secondly, he divorced a Catholic. She was Cathrine of Aragon, daughter of Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain. To marry her in the first place, he had to get special permission from the Pope, as she was originally married to Henry's brother. So to divorce her after so much trouble was not smiled upon.
