Yes, if the family requests and one of the members is active Catholic and if deceased lived a life as a good Christian. You should check with the pastor, however, in these situations.

Can a divorced non-Catholic not married in a Catholic Church remarry in a Catholic church without an annulment?

Yes, a Catholic can marry a Pentecostal. Marriages in the Catholic tradition can take place either within a Mass or not. Generally, if a Catholic marries a non-Catholic they do not celebrate sacrament of matrimony during Mass but rather have a service. This service is just as Sacramental for the Catholic spouse as a marriage within a Mass would be for two Catholics getting married. There are some conditions however: For a Catholic to marry a Pentecostal and have their marriage recognized by the Church and thus be sacramental for the Catholic spouse, the couple would have to go through the regular marriage prep as required by their parish and the Pentecostal spouse would have to make certain commitments, such as acknowledging that the Catholic spouse has a commitment to raise the offspring in the Catholic faith.


Catholic Rules that govern on Catholics marrying in the Catholic Church?

Only a priestly marriage- Matrimony is considered a sacrament is valid for a marriage between two Catholics. There are different forms of marriage- but the full length (and more expensive to celebrate (I almost typed stage) Nuptial Mass is the preferred form- there are also quick, say 20 minute ceremonies that are entirely valid among Catholic Couples- I saw one once. This was a marriage, but not a true mass ( no communion, for example).ANSWER:If one is a Catholic, and wishes to marry in the Catholic Church, he/she must refer to the rules of his/her dioceses.Generally, one must be a member of a specific Catholic Church (w/in a diocese) for a period of time in order to be married USING that specific church. There are other requirements as well, among them attending marriage preparation classes, committing to raise all children as Catholics, etc.A couple may only have a Nuptial Mass, in which both partners receive communion, IF both partners are "confirmed" Catholics (Sacrament of Confirmation) and have no "mortal sin" on their souls. A Nuptial Mass is permitted if only one partner is a Catholic but the non-Catholic spouse may not receive communion.Best to consult your diocese re: the exact "rules" re: marriage in the Catholic Church.

By law , all catholics must be married by a Priest.
