Catholics are not allowed to divorce, so this question forces us to make some assumptions.
*Correction - Catholics are allowed to divorce. Divorce is a civil action to reverse the civil aspect of the marriage. The Church discourages this but recognizes the legal reality. However, when Catholics are married in the Church, the marriage is considered indisolvable. An annullment declares that the Sacramental marriage never happened due to circumstances revealed by the person seeking annullment and discerned by the Tribunal to constitute conditions that prevented the marriage from happening (even though a wedding did occur). If an annullment is not decreed or persued, the couple, although divorced, are still married. If they then remarry or enter into a sexual relationship, the relationship is considered to be adultery. (cf. Gospel of Mark 10:11-12) This is not an arbitrary "rule" of the Church, it is Biblical, not an interpretation, but based on the documented words of Jesus Christ, Founder of the Catholic Church.
* The rest of this answer regarding Deacons, is accurate. They can not remarry. If they divorce, suspension of faculties is considered, based on Biblical criteria (cf. 1 Timothy 3:12)
Firstly, it would appear we are dealing with a permanent deacon, which is an innovation of the Church in modern times, for a transitional deacon, i.e. one in pursuit of the priesthood cannot be married prior to ordination
Ordinarily, after ordination the deacon would not be allowed to marry for any reason - i.e. divorce/annulment or the death of his spouse.
Jesus was Jewish, not founder of the Catholic church. The Catholic church was started by Peter his disciple. So you are most definitely mistaken in saying Jesus founded the church. He was crucified quite a time before the church was formed.

Yes, he can become a Catholic but could not remarry unless he is able to annul his previous marriage.

∙ 11y agoCatholic Deacons are bound by the same strictures that Priests are bound by. The couple need to go through marriage preparation and during that time it will be determined when and how any prior marriages need to be annulled.

∙ 12y agoYes, generally speaking, anyone can remarry, HOWEVER, in some Baptists churches, deacons and other staff members cannot be divorced, so if a deacon gets divorced, he may no longer qualify to be a deacon.

∙ 13y agoA man can be married before being ordained a deacon, but not after. If already married and his wife should die, he cannot remarry.
This applies to permanent deacons only, not to those who are ordained as deacons ( transitional deacos)who are to be ordained priests, since priests cannot be married prior to or after ordination.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoCertainly Deacons can marry. It is good that they do so they can be of assistance to married ones and help them with parenting when it gets tough. Deacons and elders can both be married.

∙ 13y agoAs a deacon, you must be married before you become one. you cannot get married as a deacon, but you can be a deacon and be married. you just have to be married before.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoNo, even if his divorce was annulled by the church, he cannot remarry after being ordained. He could remarry before ordination, if first mariage was annulled.

A deacon may not marry after ordination as he has taken a vow of celibacy when he gets ordained, which means that he may not marry after ordination. If he is married when he is ordained, then he remains married, but may not remarry should his wife die.
Can a widower re marry after becoming a deacon?
Nope. The Catholic Church on this is pretty clear. Those who are unmarried and become deacons can not marry afterwards. Those who are already married and become deacons can not marry again should their wife pass on, leaving them as a widow. An unwed or widowed deacon can become a full priest. However, in the Anglican or Episcopal Church, both deacons and priests may marry, whether or not the deacon or priest is male or female. A divorced deacon or priest wishing to remarry may present a problem, but if a priest or deacon is widowed, they are free to remarry, as, at their wedding vows they promised to stay together 'until death us do part'.

The two kinds of deacons (they are not really different "kinds") are transitional and permanent.

Neither may marry after ordination.
