It might be invalid because God's blessing through priest is important. The priest (or deacon) who assists at the celebration of a marriage receives the consent of the spouses in the name of the Church and gives the blessing of the Church. The presence of the Church's minister (and also of the witnesses) visibly expresses the fact that marriage is an ecclesial reality.
It is this writers opinion that ones marraige does not have to be blessed by a Catholic Priest. Christ gave the sacramament as an example for all men to follow. The blessing a ones marriage has nothing to do with partaking of the sacrament.
They can, under specific circumstances. The ability to receive sacraments is determined by: - how the initial marriage(s) was dissolved - how the current marriage was arranged - how the individuals live their lives. If your initial marriages were appropriately dissolved by the church See document "Annulment and Dissolution of Marriage in the Catholic Church" referenced below If you live according to Catholic principles If you were correctly married in the catholic church Then you can receive the sacraments.
One easy answer confession.
Yes they can. However their marriage will not be recognized by the Catholic Church. They will incur auto-excommunication and will not be eligible to receive the sacraments in a Catholic Church until they regularize their marriage and confess their sins.
Catholic AnswerThese sacraments can be received more than once:Reconciliation;Eucharist;Marriage - if your spouse dies;Anointing of the Sick.
Not many people receive all the sacraments as one is marriage, and another priesthood. Of course, it can happen, but it's not usual.
Once. The only sacraments one is allowed to receive more than once are Eucharist, reconciliation and anointing of the sick. You can also receive the sacraments of confession and marriage more than once.
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.
Roman Catholic AnswerBecause without Baptism, you can not validly receive any of the other sacraments.
I'm Cape Verdian and a Catholic, and it influenced Cape Verde by giving us faith in Christ to receive him in the most blessed sacraments, the religion also influenced us to always have hope and to know God is with us!
Probably the first thing is to speak to your local parish priest.
If you are still young, you can attend classes called CCD. If you are in adulthood, most Catholic churches offer RCIA (The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) classes which take you through the main sacraments.
Our Blessed Lord is in the sacraments in a very real way. THE Sacrament of Sacraments is the Eucharist, which is His Blessed Body and Blood. Starting with the Last Supper, Our Blessed Lord gives Himself to us under the appearances of bread and wine. In the other sacraments, He is present and gives His grace to those who receive those sacraments in a worthy manner, but He is not actually present in the same way that He is in the Eucharist.
