What else can I help you with?
Can a non-Catholic that was married and divorced twice get married to a Catholic girl in a Catholic Church without an annulment?
You would have to discuss your individual situation with a Catholic priest. If your marriages were considered valid, then you would still be considered married, and you could only marry again if you proved that both marriages were invalid, which is what an annulment is, a degree that no valid marriage ever happened. You need to make an appointment with your local priest.
Can Catholics elope for financial reasons and then be married in the church later?
This depends on what you mean by elope. If a Catholic was to elope and be married by a civil authority this would be a mortal sin and the marriage would not be recognized by the Church, since a priest must be witness to a Catholic marriage (save for extreme circumstances). Later, however, a couple could repent of this and after consultation with a priest, they may be allowed a Catholic marriage which would, of course, be recognized. If, however, as seen in Romeo and Juliet, a Catholic couple elopes because of severe familial circumstances - which would have to be dire indeed - and is married by a Catholic priest, this marriage is valid and binding and no sin is committed. Eloping for "financial reasons" is very vague. It is best to consult a priest. If you are unable to talk to a priest because you do not plan to be married in the Church in the first place: don't do it at all! You can always be married in the Church later, but you don't know if later will ever come, and a Catholic who has despised the Church by resorting to a civil union is living in scandal and his union is considered fornication.

Can an episcopal priest that is married ever become a Catholic priest?
Not in the eyes of the Catholic Church. They do not consider an Episcopal Priest to be ordained in Apostolic Succession, so is therefore a layman (a non-priest like you or I). This is depite Episcopalian (and all priests in the Anglican Communion) being able to trace their succession back through the bishops to the pre-Reformation Church based in Rome.

Can a divorced non-Catholic woman marry a Catholic man if she has had children outside of the marriage?
They can only marry if they are not Catholics anymore. Because Catholic church frowns on divorces.Roman Catholic Answer:This is a problem which you would have to discuss with a priest. A non-Catholic woman may or may not be considered married in the eyes of the church depending on her situation and her ex-husband's situation. The children would be irrelevant in establishing whether she was in a binding marriage. Either way, she would have to discuss this with a priest and see if an annulment could be obtained (a decree that no marriage ever took place in the eyes of God). If the non-Catholic was baptised and her husband was also baptised then there would probably be considered a marriage existing, but, again, you need to talk to a priest.
Can a man married and divorced by the state and divorced marry a Catholic woman?
You mean he got married and divorced by a minister who is not a priest or deacon, without the Catholic church's blessing? If this is what you are asking, the answer turns on: 1) Was the man Catholic? If he was, then the Church will not recognize his first marriage unless he got permission from his bishop to get married by the state. So, because he was never married, he won't have any difficulties marrying a Catholic woman who has never been married in the Catholic Church after receiving an annulment (a decree that no marriage ever existed). 2) If the man was not Catholic at the time of the first marriage, the church WILL recognize it. He will need to submit for an decree of nullity (an annulment) to see if the marriage was valid or not. If it was not valid he may marry after the decree is issued, otherwise, no.

Can a catholic church find out if you were ever married before?

Can a Catholic priest get married?
No. Technically though, a Roman Catholic priest IS married to the Church, the Bride of Christ. Another technicality is that an Episcopalian priest who converts to Catholicisim can be ordained as a Catholic priest even if he is married.
