Marriage between a Catholic and non Catholic will be challenging. How challenging will depend of the beliefs of the non Catholic. Catholics MUST be married in the Catholic Church and MUST raise their children as Catholics. This can meet with resistence from the non Catholic partner. This obligation is NOT open for negotiation. =The love for GOD and His Church is priority. Nothing is more important than our Catholic faith and our love for God. If the non Catholic agrees to the terms set forth by the Church, then a marriage can take place. If not, then the Catholic must NOT marry this person. ==We are called to live our lives in a way that will lead us to heaven. If the love for another person causes us to renounce our Catholic faith, then we are choosing a human person over GOD. This cannot be! It is very painful, but we must remember that earth is temporary. Heaven is FOREVER! ==I am not saying that non Catholics are less loved or will not go to heaven. I am saying that Catholics believe the Catholic Church holds the FULLNESS of truth revealed. If one who KNOWS the Catholic Church is TRUE and denounces HER for any reason, they risk losing heaven. ==We are NOT promised total happiness here on earth. BUT, we are promised TOTAL happiness in heaven. ==The question was specific to the Mormon Church. They are very loving people but their beliefs are so contrary to the Catholic Church, that marriage would be extremely difficult. It is very unlikely that the Mormon would agree to allow the children to be raised as Catholics.=

I am a divorced Man and I am a practicing Catholic and was never married in the Catholic Church. Can I marry a practicing Catholic Woman who is a widow in the Catholic Church.?
Answer: The Catholic widow is free to marry. You are also free to marry in the Catholic Church. This is because your first marriage was not a Catholic one and, according to Church law, it should have been. It will be simple matter of speaking to your local pastor and filling out a form to be sent to the diocese.
Does a person who is married in the Catholic Church divorces and remarries outside of the Catholic Church and is now divorced go to communion?
your marriage outside of the Catholic church is invalid due to improper form. your 1st marriage in the church nullified it. If you are divorced and are a practicing Catholic, you may receive communion as long as you remain faithful to your 1st spouse. This would be the situation for any divorced Catholic. You are not free to marry without nullifying the first marriage.

Probably. The Catholic Church wants your family to be joined in a sacramental marriage and allows marriage between Catholics and non-Catholics. Because the Church recognizes the tremendous challenge that the interfaith couple will face, you may have to get permission from the bishop. Call your local parish and talk to the marriage coordinator or a priest.
If you have converted to Catholicism will the church recognize your extant marriage to a non-Catholic?
If neither one of you were ever divorced, the Church will recognize the marriage. Even if one of you were divorced, an annulment can still be obtained.

The Catholic Church also teaches that non-Catholic marriages between non-Catholics cannot be dissolved except in extreme cases.

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.

A mixed marriage is a marriage between a Catholic and a non-Catholic. Disparity of Cult is a marriage between a Catholic and a non-baptized person. The later case is a diriment impediment to marriage, which may only be overcome with special permission from the Bishop. However, it is *never* recommended due to the problems involved in the marriage, the danger to the Catholic's faith, and the determent to the children from that marriage.
If a non-Catholic man married a Catholic woman in a Catholic church and the marriage ends in divorce how does the Catholic Church view this marriage and can the man later become a Catholic?
