Roman Catholic AnswerNot sure what you're asking, if you want to know if you need an annulment from a marriage that was performed in front of a Lutheran minister, then yes, you would need an annulment if you were thinking of marrying again, but otherwise, not. If you are saying that there was a Catholic priest at the wedding with the Lutheran minister, then you are going to have to talk to a priest about this, or call the Chancery.
If she is divorced but not remarried, she can be a Catholic. If she has remarried she will need to seek an annulment of the first marriage before she can fully participate in the Catholic Church. .
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.
Yes, but annulments within the Catholic Church are even harder to acquire with the new Pope's edict. You need witness testimonials attached to your filings of the annulment.
If the man was baptized Catholic, married in a civil ceremony and then divorced, yes, he can marry a Catholic woman in a Church ceremony in the presence of the priest or deacon with proper paper work completed. He could also marry again in a civil ceremony. You need to talk to a priest and apply for an annulment which is a ruling from the Church that no sacramental marriage is present from the civil marriage.
The only time you need to have an annulment is if one or both of you were married in the Catholic ChurchAnswer: Yes you'll need to obtain an official decree of annulment from the Catholic Church before you can be married again, this time in the Church. Such an annulment can be obtained pretty quickly though. Contact your parish priest.
It's just Catholic, not Roman Catholic. Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the official Catholic Church. . A Catholic is bound by his Bishop. If he is a Latin Rite Catholic, then he would need to ask his pastor to apply to his Latin Rite bishop for an annulment. If he is another Rite, then he would need to apply to his Bishop in that Rite. There are more than a few Rites in the Catholic Church, the Latin Rite is just the largest. . An Orthodox Bishop has no standing in the Catholic Church whatsoever, other than valid Orders.
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.
Roman Catholic AnswerA decree of nullity and an annulment are exactly the same thing, just two different ways of referring to the fact that a presumed marriage never existed, in effect leaving the person single. Said single person may of course have a Catholic wedding ceremony if they are Catholic and there are no other impediments, they would need to speak to their parish priest.
