Can a woman who has converted to being a Catholic and is a divorcee marry a Catholic in Church?

The Catholic divorcee must receive a declaration of nullity (a process to determine whether the marriage was invalid from the very beginning). If the divorced Catholic is granted a declaration of nullity then that person was never validly married and may contract marriage. Talk to your Diocesan Tribunal to get the process started.

ANSWER: Again, though, you will still need to deal with/resolve your 1st marriage through the annulment process before you will be permitted to marry in the Catholic Church. Without an annulment of your 1st marriage, you are still married before God, in the eyes of the Church. . .so technically, w/out an annulment, you'd be committing bigomy (in secular terms) by marrying someone else.
God does not recognize Caesar's divorce (the civil state/authority). Likewise, the STATE would not recognize a mere Catholic annulment either. You must be divorced, civilly too. If you failed to do that -- even obtaining an annulment in the Church -- you'd be committing bigomy according to state law. "Give to Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God's."

Did Roman Catholic Church grant Newt Gingrich annulments of his previous marriages in return for monetary compensation?
I can not answer how many annulments Newt may have received. I am aware of one and that was to his second wife. When Newt married her, she was a divorcee. The Catholic Church does not recognize divorce so considered his marriage to her as being invalid. Newt is a recent convert, or convert in progress, to Catholicism. It is not a matter of public record of what his current status as a Catholic is at this time nor am I able to find any references to other annulments.
What is the difference between romaan Catholic and Catholic?
Well, "catholic" spelled with a lower-case "c", is a word meaning, "all-inclusive". It is not necessarily a religious word, at all. Roman Catholic is a Christian religion, and the word, "Catholic" is a religious word meaning, "all-inclusive" or "available to all". There are 2 Catholic churches. The church in Roman-held areas was a rival to the church in areas of what is now Turkey. The head of that church was in Byzantium. Eventually, the 2 church group broke apart, one being called the Roman Catholic church, and the other being called the Byzantine Catholic church. The Byzantine Catholic church is today better know as the Greek Orthodox church and Russian Orthodox church. Thus church follows the old, old practices that the Roman Catholic church has abandoned or altered over the years.
