Best Answer
Answer getting married

Yes they can get married, but most will have to take some classes first.

Answer

Usually the non-Catholic person would be required to convert to Catholicism first.

Wrong, The Church only recommends, but will never require anyone to covert to Catholicism first.

THE Answer:

The couple must take Pre-Cana Classes . Most importantly , the non-Catholic must promise to baptize and raise the children Catholic and to never impede the Catholic spouse from practicing their faith or teaching the children. That's it for any baptized Christian . For non-Christians , there must be a special dispensation.

Yes, of course!

The priest may require various assurances about the religious faith of the newlyweds and potential children. The priest may also require classes to educate the betrothed in the practices of the church. Practices vary but acceptance of marriage between Protestant and Catholic has improved greatly over the years.

Yes, but the Catholic must receive a dispensation from the local bishop first. The couple must meet with a priest or deacon and fulfill all the same pre-cana preparations as all practicing catholics must do. The catholic priest or deacon must fill out the necessary forms. If this procedure is not followed, the church considers that the catholic is in an invalid marriage.

the woman's marriage will not be recognized by the Catholic church. I don't know about the protestant. --- Neither party's marriage would be recognized as a sacrament, nor as a matrimonial bond. It is considered a civil bond. If a Catholic wishes to have their marriage witnessed by a non-Catholic clergy member, the parties must fulfill all the obligations required by the Catholic Faith, ie: Pre-Cana, preparation of needed documents and certificates. The priest would then request a favor dispensation from the local ordinary (bishop) for the party to be married in a non-Catholic ceremony. This being completed, the marriage is recognized as valid. This process can be applied to non-Christian ceremonies, as well ... a different dispensation is needed. ---

Absolutely they can! The Church recognizes any marriage between two baptized Christians to be both valid and a Sacrament. Catholics are required to marry in the Church, or obtain special permission to marry elsewhere. In this case, all you need to do is talk to your priest and say that you and your significant other wish to be married in the Catholic Church with a Catholic ceremony. Congratulations!

Yes, with the permission of your Priest.

From the Code of Canon Law:

Can. 1118

§1 A marriage between catholics, or between a catholic party and a baptised non-catholic, is to be celebrated in the parish church. By permission of the local Ordinary or of the parish priest, it may be celebrated in another church or oratory.

§2 The local Ordinary can allow a marriage to be celebrated in another suitable place.

§3 A marriage between a catholic party and an unbaptised party may be celebrated in a church or in another suitable place.

A divorced person whose (ex-) spouse is still alive may not marry in the Catholic Church. Anyone who was married and has a civil divorce would have to apply for a decree of nullity (an annulment, which states that no valid marriage ever existed). If an annulment is granted, and there is a divorce, then the person is free to marry. If that person is a protestant, then he would not only have to go through the petition for an annulment, and have it approved (not a sure thing), but then he would have to convert or, at the very least, promise to uphold his spouse's religion and raise the children as Catholic.

You should be ok. Many of them welcome all and don't bar anyone in particular from marrying in the Church provided you can afford the service.

Your new spouse has to meet guidelines, however; for example if he/she was married in the churchas Catholic and divorced he cannot marry you unless his first marriage was annulled.

No. However, it would be possible if the previous marriage were annulled by the Catholic Church. This would be easier if the previous marriage was not within the Catholic Church.

Can a person who was married and divorced while a protestant be admitted to the roman catholic faith?

The church frowns on divorce whether Catholic or not, and recognizes the protestant marriage as valid unless it is annulled. Thus the protestant, if remarried, cannot enter the catholic church unless previous marriage is annulled. If the protestant has NOT remarried, then he/she CAN enter the roman catholic faith, but cannot remarry unless previous marrige is annulled. A lot also depends on the person's previous spouse faith and form of marriage if spouse was Catholic. A sit down with priest would be advised.
