Can a Roman Catholic receive sacraments after marrying an Anglican divorcee?

A person can receive the sacraments if they are free of mortal sin. This may include acting out a marriage that is invalid. A valid marriage of a Catholic is only through the Catholic church. [Note: 2 baptized persons who have never been Roman Catholic, can be validly married.] During the pre-cana process, the church will investigate all impediments (like prior divorces) and sort through them to either approve or deny an impending marriage. The Annullment process for example may be necessitated. If a Catholic is married outside the church (regardless of the spouses religion or marital status) they cannot receive the sacraments. Also, if a person is married to another person who is validly married, then those two persons are committing adultry, which is a mortal sin.
