∙ 15y agoFirstly one of you at least must be catholic. You need to go to a marriage prep course which is a few night sessions or a weekend. It basically is all about the vocation of marriage, what it means within the Church and also some practical things about married life like money, children, work, time together etc. There are a few forms to fill out, outlining sacraments taken by each person. If one of you is not catholic then there is an additional form to be signed. This is basically a form outlining the catholic persons intentions that the children from the marriage would be brought up catholic.

∙ 15y agoFor a Catholic to be married in the Roman Catholic Church, they must be:
a) free to marry (not have been previously married: exceptions - if first marriage ended in death; if the Sacrament of marriage were recognized by the Church but the Sacrament has been annulled; if the marriage was a civil marriage, and a nullity has been procured. ).
b) The fiance be free to marry (even if non-Catholic, the same requirements as for a Catholic apply... The Catholic Church recognizes the marriage between two members of any faith as being "valid" marriages)
c) Should the couple be cohabiting, they should seek council from their parish priest.
d) be a registered parishioner in your "territorial" parish. (The Parish where you live.)
e) practice the faith, receive the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Eucharist on a regular basis. It is no longer required that the Catholic have received the Sacrament of Confirmation, [desirable, but not required.]
f) Proper paperwork must be assembled: Baptismal certificate, First Communion Certificate, Confirmation Certificate
g) The couple must attend a series of "Pre-Cana" meetings, or the equivalent.
h) The couple must meet with the priest, after the Pre-Cana meeting, bringing the Pre-Cana certificate with them. They will then fill out the "Pre-Maritial-Investigation" form with the priest.
Certain dioceses may have additional requirements.

Your bf is protestant and you are Catholic you have been married before If you want to marry each other who would marry us?
If you wish to be married in the Catholic Church and your first marriage was in the church, you will need to apply for an annulment (Catholic divorce) before you can remarry in the church. If you wish to marry in the protestant church, they do not have any laws that I know of that would prevent you from marrying in their church. If you have a civil marriage and no church marriage, then you can get married in the Catholic Church since civil marriages are not recognized as a holy sacrament and the covenant with God did not take place.

If you have gotten married in a baptist church without permission, if you have gotten a civil marriage without dispensation, if you have married a non-Catholic without permission from your Bishop: then, yes, in all these cases, you would need to speak to a priest to straighten the situation out, and you would need to go to confession.

Does a divorced Baptist man need an annulment to marry a Catholic in the Catholic Church?
A divorced Baptist male may or may not need an annulment of his prior marriage from the Catholic Church in order to marry a Catholic in the Catholic Church. Although Baptists are able to re-marry after divorce, Catholics may divorce but may not re-marry unless the sacrament of the first marriage has been declared null. If the divorced Baptist did not have a valid Christian marriage (that is, one spouse was not a validly baptized Christian, or the ceremony was not Christian, then the annulment process is much simpler - but any prior marrriages still need to be declared null). If the first marriage was a valid Christian ceremony, then the couple desiring a marriage in the Catholic church will have to go through the 'formal' annulment process which takes considerably longer and is very thorough but very worthwhile if you love this person. The Catholic person cannot enter into a valid marriage unless this is done.
Can a non Catholic man marry a Catholic women in a Catholic church?
No, not without the Catholic party receiving a dispensation to marry a non-Catholic. The standard concessions from the non-Catholic party would then also have to be confirmed and the marriage to take place in a Catholic church with a Catholic priest as witness.
