Yes, the marriage is still valid in the eyes of God and the church.
Because of that, The Catholic party cannot remarry in the church unless it is shown invalid by annulment.
Roman Catholic AnswerYes, you need to discuss this with your priest. If you marriage that you are in is valid, you should have no problems.
There is no such thing as a trial marriage in the Catholic Church. You are either married or not. There is nothing in between.
If you were married in the Catholic Church and marriage ended in a divorce but not annullled, then, no, you cannot remarry in the Catholic Church. If you are Catholic and were married outside the church by say a justice of peace and marriage ended in a divorce but not annullled, then, yes you can remarry in the Catholic Church, with proper paperwork and oath commitments.
Yes, he does if he was previously married.
As a Catholic, you cannot be validly married anywhere else besides a Roman Catholic church. If you get permission from your Episcopalian Bishop, the Episcopal Church will recognize your marriage in a Roman Catholic church.
No. However, it would be possible if the previous marriage were annulled by the Catholic Church. This would be easier if the previous marriage was not within the Catholic Church. If the previous marriage was within the Catholic Church, an annulment is very difficult. It must be demonstrated that the marriage never existed. To be married in the Catholic Church, both man and wife must be Catholic and in good standing with the Church.
Catholic AnswerMarriage. There is no such thing as "blessing" a civil or other religious marriage, you are either married in the eyes of the Church or you are not. If you are not, then you must get married, it is a real marriage ceremony. We have these all the time when a Catholic has been married outside the Church and the non-Catholic spouse goes through RCIA and converts, then they are married in the Church. "Blessing" is just a nice non-judgmental word to explain what you are doing to your protestant relatives who think you are already married.
No, the person or couple needs to regularize their marriage in the Catholic Church. The Church does not recognize a civil marriage. Talk with the parish priest.
Yes as long as you were legally married. And if you were congratz!!! ---- If either party of the couples is a Catholic, then for the Catholic Church to officially recognize the marriage, the couple must have been married in the Catholic Church.
If the couple was married in the Catholic Church then, yes, at the time of their marriage the couple promised to baptize and educate their children in the Catholic Church.
He can certainly become Catholic. Divorce does not prevent one from participating in the Church in any way. The Church sees him as continuing to be involved in a nonsacramental, but valid, marriage. What he cannot do is to *remarry* since that would be adultery in the eyes of the Church.
If you are divorced, you CANNOT marry in any Catholic church anywhere in the world. In the Catholic church's eye, you are still married once you are divorced. Therefore, you are committing adultery by remarrying.If you want to remarry, you should get an annulment. This completely erases the former marriage.If you are divorced, baptized Catholic, and were not married in a Catholic church or marriage not validated by a Catholic priest, but were married in a civil ceremony or a non Catholic Church, then you CAN be married in a Catholic Church, with proper dispensation. You shouild see a priest in this case; otherwise you need an annullment.Roman Catholic AnswerThe above answer is a little confused, if you have been married and are divorced, then you are still married in the eyes of the Church and can not get married again unless your first spouse dies. If there was some defect with the first marriage AND IT WAS NOT VALID IN THE FIRST PLACE, then you can get an annulment which is nothing more than the Church's declaration that the first attempted marriage never took place validly. The Church has no power to "completely erase" any valid marriage. If your marriage was valid, then you will be denied an annulment. In the last case mentioned above, you were a Catholic but did not marry in front of a priest, then you did not fulfuill the requirements for a valid marriage, and your attempted marriage could be annulled.
