Does the Catholic church recognize marriages performed in the Lutheran Church?

Actually, the Catholic Church recognizes ALL marriages between baptized persons as valid sacramental ("religious") marriages. So if the couple was married by a minister in another sect of Christianity, like the Lutheran one, that marriage is recognized. Even if the marriage between two baptized non-Catholics was secular, in a civil ceremony, such as a clerk of the court or a justice of the peace, it is also recognized as a sacramental marriage, because the marriage is theologically contracted through the will of the spouses, and non-Catholics are not bound by formal requirements as Catholics are.
If the marriage is between a Catholic and a baptized non-Catholic, it can be recognized as a religious marriage if a few steps are taken. The Catholic person in the marriage may get a dispensation that allows them to marry a non-Catholic. You can also get one that allows the wedding to be preformed outside of a Catholic church. If you do both, then the marriage is in fact recognized as a religious one by the Catholic Church.

∙ 11y agoThe Church recognizes all valid Sacraments; Lutherans, however, have not but two validSacraments - Baptism and Marriage. So, in short, the Church does not recognize a Lutheran First Communion.

Can a Lutheran wedding be blessed by the Catholic Church?
The Catholic Church can and does perform marriages for a Catholic and a non-Catholic (mixed marriages). Generally, Lutheran weddings are left to be performed by Lutheran pastors, though..Catholic AnswerI think what you are asking is can a wedding that took place in a Lutheran Church be blessed by a priest in the Catholic Church. I teach in the RCIA and we have many people coming into the Church whose marriages are in questionable circumstances - as far as the Church is concerned. Marriage is a sacrament, and can only be validly celebrated by two baptized individuals of the opposite sex who are both eligible to marry. A Lutheran wedding between two baptized protestants would be a valid marriage. When someone is converting to the Catholic Church and already married, in whatever circumstances, in most cases, they must be married again before a priest to validly enact the sacrament. Lay folk often refer to this a having the "marriage blessed by a priest" (or the Catholic Church).

Does one need an annulment because of marriage by Lutheran minister and Catholic blessing?
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.
