Roman Catholic AnswerIf the divorced Catholic has an annulment (a decree that no valid marriage ever existed), then yes, she would be free to marry.

A divorced Baptist male may or may not need an annulment of his prior marriage from the Catholic Church in order to marry a Catholic in the Catholic Church. Although Baptists are able to re-marry after divorce, Catholics may divorce but may not re-marry unless the sacrament of the first marriage has been declared null. If the divorced Baptist did not have a valid Christian marriage (that is, one spouse was not a validly baptized Christian, or the ceremony was not Christian, then the annulment process is much simpler - but any prior marrriages still need to be declared null). If the first marriage was a valid Christian ceremony, then the couple desiring a marriage in the Catholic church will have to go through the 'formal' annulment process which takes considerably longer and is very thorough but very worthwhile if you love this person. The Catholic person cannot enter into a valid marriage unless this is done.

The Catholic divorcee must receive a declaration of nullity (a process to determine whether the marriage was invalid from the very beginning).

Henry the VIII left the Catholic Church by his own choice, because the Church would not give him an annulment from his first wife to marry Ann Boleyn. He wanted to annul his first marriage in the hope that he could get a son from Ann Boleyn. After he left the Catholic Church, and started the Church of England, with him as the head of the Church, he married Ann Boleyn, but, he never got the son he wanted from her, and she had her beheaded and married again and again in hope of getting a male heir. It would end in failure, and Ann Boleyn's daughter would eventually become Queen of England.
