Catholic and Orthodox priests cannot get married. However, if an Orthodox man is married before he is ordained, he can remain married after ordination.

If a Catholic is married by a Justice of the Peace or a Protestant Minister is heshe considered married by the Catholic Church?
Normally, no.
Why won't the Catholic Church allow deacons to marry if not already married when becoming a deacon or if married if he becomes a widower cannot remarry?
A deacon may not marry after ordination as he has taken a vow of celibacy when he gets ordained, which means that he may not marry after ordination. If he is married when he is ordained, then he remains married, but may not remarry should his wife die.
Where did Benjamin Franklin and Deborah rogers get married?

Can christian priests be married?
No. Ordination is not considered a marriage. In the Roman Catholic, Eastern Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, Old Catholic and Anglican churches, ordination is identified with the sacrament of Holy Orders and is the means by which one is included in one of the three major orders: bishop, priest, or deacon.

A Catholic whose former spouse is still alive and whose marriage was not ended through annulment would not be able to remarry in a Catholic church.
Why are some Christian clergy allowed to get married?
Generally speaking, in modern Christianity, only Protestant and some independent Catholic churches allow for ordained clergy to marry after ordination.
Can a Catholic man married by the Justice of the Peace to a non-Catholic get married to a Catholic?
Probably. If the Catholic man did not gain permission from his bishop to be married by a minister who is not a Catholic priest or deacon, the Church will not recognize that prior marriage as being valid. Thus, in the eyes of the church he was never married to begin with. If he got a civil divorce from his first "wife" then he would be free under secular law to remarry. Since he was never married before in the eyes of the Church, it is likely that he can marry a Catholic woman (assuming she was never married) in the Catholic church. He should consult with his pastor for a review by a canon lawyer.
Is there a Roman Catholic sect that allows priest to marry and who?
First of all there is no "Roman" Catholic, it is just Catholic. Secondly there are no Catholic "sects" there are Rites within the Church but they are all Catholic, they all follow the Pope in Rome as the Vicar of Christ. Thirdly, no Catholic priest may attempt marriage after ordination, they all take a vow of celibacy. However, most of the Rites in the Church allow men that are already married to be ordained, thus most of the Rites have married priests. The Latin Rite (which is the largest and most visible especially in the western world) only ordains celibate men ordinarily. There are exceptions (like the Anglican priests who convert), but again, no priest may attempt marriage after ordination. Any priest who was married when he was ordained may not marry again if his wife dies.
What type of deacon can be married?
Any Deacon in the Catholic Church can be married when he becomes a Deacon. But if he is not married when he becomes a Deacon he cannot get married. Also if a married Deacon's wife should die he cannot get remarried so a transitional deacon may be married if not married when he becomes a deacon he would be a permanent deacon.
You are Catholic and your fiance is not can you get married by a minister or will you lose your status as a Catholic?
it depends on the two of you. Say for example, a catholic man wants to marry a Muslim woman, the catholic man can be converted to a Muslim or the Muslim woman to catholic. You can't be married if you are different to her/him.ANSWER: I'd consult your parish priest and/or diocese about this. Don't believe that you, as a Catholic, can be married by a non-catholic minister in a non-catholic church. You'd need, at least, one of the officiants to be a catholic priest. Otherwise, I don't believe that your marriage would be a valid "sacramental' marriage. You would not be married in the eyes of the Church.Same if you are Catholic and were merely married by a justice of the peace. You would be forbidden to receive the Sacraments b/c you'd be, technically, living in a state of fornication a mortal sin.The reason is that YOU are a Catholic. Proper sacramental marriage is defined by the Catholic Church. if you deliberately refuse to be married according to Church teaching then you HAVE violated a fundamental tenet of your Faith.The answer, however, MAY be as simple as making certain that a Catholic priest is the celebrant, alongside the protestant minister, at your marriage. IF your intended spouse refused to permit this, then you seriously SHOULD re-think this marriage.Still, I do believe that both spouses, regardless of where they are married, would be required to promise to raise the children Catholic. That is certainly a potential serious problem. It would be a serious/grave sin for a Catholic NOT to raise his/her children in the Catholic faith.If your intended spouse refuses to raise the children Catholic, then you got BIGGER PROBLEMS than merely where -- what church -- to marry in. And, you & your intended need to iron them out before you marry.
