No, not without the Catholic party receiving a dispensation to marry a non-Catholic. The standard concessions from the non-Catholic party would then also have to be confirmed and the marriage to take place in a Catholic church with a Catholic priest as witness.

Yes, a man can marry a Catholic woman, even if he is not Catholic. The requirements for the marriage to be valid in the eyes of the Catholic Church are...

1.The Spouse that is currently Catholic must remain Catholic.

2.Any offspring that results from the union must be brought up in a Catholic Church.

Catechism of the Catholic Church: 1633-36

It is recommended that the Husband consider joining the Catholic Church, but it is by all means, not required. It will, however, lessen the amount of stress and "bring the confusion of Christian disunity into the home." Remember, the Catholic Church does not forbid mixed marriages, but for the marriage to be considered valid, you must follow the guidelines.

God be with you!

The short answer is maybe. The widower in this case is free to marry again.

Assuming here that the woman has been married in a Christian church ceremony and granted a civil divorce. In the eyes of the Catholic church this would be considered a "proper" marriage and strictly speaking would be in the "till death do us part" category.

If however her marriage was a civil one, it would not be considered a marriage under God. In this case a marriage of conscience might be appropriate in a Catholic church if the presiding priest is agreeable.

Roman Catholic AnswerThe Catholic widow is free to marry. The non-Catholic divorcee may or may not be free to marry. They would have to apply to their Catholic Chancery office for an annulment which would cause the judges to look into their previous marriage to see if it was valid. If it was valid, then the Catholic widow would not be free to marry them in or out of the Catholic Church as they are still validly married in the eyes of the Church. You need to speak to your parish priest about this situation ASAP.

I am a divorced Man and I am a practicing Catholic and was never married in the Catholic Church. Can I marry a practicing Catholic Woman who is a widow in the Catholic Church.?

Answer: The Catholic widow is free to marry. You are also free to marry in the Catholic Church. This is because your first marriage was not a Catholic one and, according to Church law, it should have been. It will be simple matter of speaking to your local pastor and filling out a form to be sent to the diocese.

Can a widowed Catholic woman marry a non-Catholic divorced man who was married in a Presbyterian church?

The non-Catholic would need to have his marriage annulled by the church before they are free to marry, as the catholic church recognizes the validity of the Presbyterian marriage. If annulment is approved, he does not need to join the Catholic Church, but must be willing to consent to her oath to bring up any children as catholic

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.
