Should a permanent deacon's wife pass away, he is not free to marry again.

Why won't the Catholic Church allow deacons to marry if not already married when becoming a deacon or if married if he becomes a widower cannot remarry?
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'.
Can a Catholic deacon be friends with a non-Catholic?
To many people you would be frowned upon for this most likely. Surely tho God would not be angry at his followers for attending a bond between man and wife. God loved everyone and even as Jesus if people did not believe in him i dont think he would not respect a marriage.ANSWER:Well, that's a little tricky. It should be fine for a Catholic Deacon to attend the non-catholic wedding of a non-Catholic family member. But, IF the family member is a Catholic, and chooses not to marry in a Catholic wedding, then that's a problem because the Catholic would be committing a grave sin and the Catholic Deacon would, by his presence, be accepting/approving that spiritually invalid marriage.I'd consult a priest and the Catechism and probably your diocese website -- and catholicanswers.com. Tough question though. I would most likely attend but you are an ordained deacon.
Can a deacon marry a couple that are divorced and the groom was married by the Catholic Church?
.Roman Catholic AnswerA deacon may witness any marriage between two people who are free to marry. In the instance you give above "couple that are divorced and the groom was married by the Catholic Church" it is not clear what the case is. It would appear that you are saying the groom was previously married to someone else in the Catholic Church. If this is the case, it would appear that he was validly married already and thus would not be free to contract another marriage while his wife still lives. If, for some reason, the "Catholic marriage" was invalid, then the groom would be free to marry. You need to speak to a priest to make sure both parties are free to marry. If both the groom and the bride were previously married, then they would both have to seek an annulment (a declaration that no valid marriage occurred) even if the bride's marriage was not in the Catholic Church.
