What is a Catholic tribunal?
A Catholic tribunal is a church court that deals with certain matters relating to Canon Law, such as marriage annulments. It is responsible for resolving disputes and making decisions according to the teachings and laws of the Catholic Church. The tribunal is made up of clerics and other experts in Canon Law.
Can Catholic Church annul Episcopal wedding?
Yes. The Catholic Church can "annul" any marriage. The marriage must first be presented to the marriage tribunal through your local diocese. After the tribunal concludes their investigation and, having found sufficient evidence that the marriage was indeed invalid, a "Decree of Nullity" will be issued.This process can be lengthy and sometimes expensive.

If someone has been married by a judge and in the future later blessed in the catholic church can a Catholic tribunal anull the common law marriage?
All marriages (civil or otherwise) are assumed to be true marriages by the Catholic Church. To explore whether a marriage, in fact and law, existed a tribunal will study the case and present a finding according to canon law as to the validity of the marriage.A blessed marriage is not a declaration of validity, rather a welcoming of the couple the catholic community and an expression of joy from the community.The assumption is that the marriage is valid, but the blessing is not a finding of law.
Can the Catholic Tribunal annul a blessed marriage that was first a civil marriage?
A civil marriage union that has never at any time been re-avowed in the Rites of the Catholic Church before an ordained Catholic priest would not be a marriage recognised by the Catholic Church. It would be considered a marriage 'outside' of the Church. Therefore it is unlikely that the Catholic Tribunal would see any requirement to apply for a Papal Dispensation to annul the marriage, because in the eyes of the Church there would be no marriage to annul. If the civil union, were later properly re-avowed in the Catholic Rite before an ordained Catholic priest, then any previous ceremonies are irrelevant to the Church and the Church would recognise the marriage. In that case an application to His Holiness, The Pope, could be made by the Tribunal on the couple's behalf, to annul their marriage. Not every application is successful.Whatever the position with the Church, a Decree Nisi Absolute (a civil divorce) would need to be obtained to legally and lawfully annul the marriage in civil law and this will not affect or change the position of the Church.Catholic AnswerUpon reading your question, it seems that you are using the term "blessed" to mean that the couple got married in front of a priest AFTER they had already been married in a civil ceremony. If the couple subsequently sought to have the marriage annulled, they would have to apply to the Tribunal. A Tribunal can only declare an invalid marriage null, they cannot annul a valid marriage. So the couple would have to prove that no valid marriage ever took place.
Do you have to go along with an annulment if one of you disagree?
An anullment may or may not be granted by the Catholic Church tribunal. Unlike a civil divorce, not everyone who applies for one receives one. The tribunal may find that the marriage is valid and the couple are united in wedlock for the remainder of their lives. The tribunal may decide that the marriage was not valid from the start. Whichever way it decides, each party will be notified of the tribunal's decision.
Can a widowed man marry a divorced catholic in the church?
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. If there is no annulment, the Church assumes a valid marriage and she could not marry again. She would have to take the case up with her pastor and the diocesan marriage tribunal.
Can a widowed Catholic marry a divorced non-Catholic in the Catholic Church?
Roman Catholic AnswerA person who is validly married cannot attempt marriage again while his or her spouse is still alive. A divorced non-Catholic may or may not be validly married in the eyes of God, they would have to submit their case to the diocesan tribunal for a ruling on the validly of their marriage.
Can a Catholic woman marry a non Catholic man who has previously been married in a Church of England ceremony?
Yes, a Catholic woman can marry a non-Catholic man who has previously been married in a Church of England ceremony. However, there may be some additional steps and requirements that need to be fulfilled, such as obtaining a declaration of nullity for the previous marriage of the non-Catholic man.
