Can an Anglican Catholic priest say Mass at a Roman Catholic Church?

The Anglican Church is not called the Anglican Catholic Church, and the Catholic Church is not formally known as the Roman Catholic Church even though the Vatican is indeed located in Rome. Your question therefore would more accurately read, can an Anglican priest say Mass at a Catholic Church. The answer is, the Catholic religion does not allow Anglican priests to officiate at their rituals. The Anglican Church, despite being extremely similar to the Catholic Church in most respects, is nonetheless regarded by Catholicism as a heretical schism.

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.


Does it go against the Christian belief for a Priest or religious figure to date?

The word "priest" in a context of Christianity usually refers to a Roman Catholic clergyman. Catholic priests are sworn to celebacy, so they should not be associating with the opposite sex in a romantic way. There are other denominations (e. g. Anglican) that sometimes call clergy priests but do allow them to marry. Of course a single Anglican priest would be able to date while deciding WHOM to marry.

If a Christian wants to marry a Catholic what must take place in order to have the wedding?

It is assumed that by Christian you mean someone who is not Catholic but is of a Christian denomination, as Catholics are Christians. If a non-Catholic Christian desires to marry a Catholic and vice versa the Church usually will not allow the marriage unless the non-Catholic party converts. In some situations the Catholic can apply for a dispensation to marry someone outside his/her Faith, but whether this is granted is ultimately up to the parish priest. For the dispensation to go through, the non-Catholic party must submit their baptismal record, must agree to have the wedding in a Catholic church presided over by a Catholic priest and agree that in the future they will not interfere with the practice of the Catholic faith of their spouse as well as agree that any children are reared Catholic. These restrictions are both to discourage mixed marriages as well as protect the faith of the Catholic party and its transmission to the next generation.


How do you get married in the Catholic Church if only baptized and already married by law?

Being baptized is the integral part of being Catholic - once you are baptized, you are part of the Catholic Church. As such, if you were baptized in another church by another group such as the Protestants or Orthodox, you are probably validly baptized a Catholic, as a valid baptism is considered a sacrament of the Catholic Church regardless of who administers it. You can check the validly of your baptism by submitting the actions and words used to a priest. If you are not yet Catholic, being married in a Catholic Church will not be a viable option for you. If your partner is Catholic, however, you may approach the priest with the desire of securing a mixed marriage, which the Church grudgenly may allow provided the non-Catholic party agrees to certain terms. You can review these with your parish priest. A mixed marriage cannot receive the special sacramental blessing of the Church as this is reserved for Catholic couples and so is highly discouraged and can only be granted with a dispensation. The Catholic Church does not recognize civil marriages. If you or your spouse or both are Catholic and you married outside the Church out of ignorance of your obligation to have a sacramental marriage, you must tell the priest. If you deliberately underwent a civil ceremony despite knowing the above, this is a grave sin and must be confessed to a priest and absolution received before you can continue. Your civil marriage will be declared ineffectual and you and your partner will have to live separately, as single people, until a real marriage is conducted between you. You must approach your parish priest with your desire to rectify things and present the normal things that require consideration before a marriage: any impediments, religious status of both parties, any previous marriages, where and how any previous ceremonies may have been conducted, etc. Be open with the priest that he may be able to correctly guide you.
