Can a divorced greek orthodox woman marry a catholic man in a catholic church if her first marriage was annulled by the greek church?
The answers is no, if he wasn't divorced,yes,because the catholic church recognises the orthodox church as valid since they were one church before.However if he is divorced he is not allowed in either catholic or orthodox. A Catholic can marry any non- Catholic, and it is recognized as a sacrament in the Catholic church. Only when the individual has been previously married there is an issue. In which case that individual must have their previous marriage annuled. The Catholic church permits Catholics to marry in the Orthodox church and it is a sacrament. I have spoken to Catholic priests and Catholic Bishops and they do not see a problem with a Greek annulment, as being an impediment. If that individual did not have their marriage previously annulled than it would be an issue.

Can a catholic receive communion in Greek orthodox church?
Oh, dude, technically speaking, it's a bit of a gray area. Like, in general, the Greek Orthodox Church has guidelines about who can receive communion, and typically, they prefer you to be a member of their church. So, like, if you're a Catholic popping in for a visit, they might not be too keen on you joining in on the communion party. But hey, if you're really craving that Eucharist, maybe give them a heads up and see what they say.

Can Anglicans marry in a Greek orthodox church?
Generally this is not allowed, as the Orthodox Church only accepts marriage between Orthodox Christians as the correct way. However, especially in Western countries, some Orthodox Churches will allow a mixed marriage to take place, for example between an Orthodox and a Catholic or Protestant, so long as the couple agree to baptize and raise any children in the Orthodox Faith.
Was Andre the giant a Christian?
As a Bulgarian, with a Bulgarian father and a Polish mother, He must be an Orthodox Christian, yes! But sense, Bulgarians assimilate fast, He might even be a Catholic Christian, but there is no question, He is a Christian. Bulgarians are Orthodox, Poles are Catholic. Presuming His mother was a Catholic and His father was Orthodox, with the likely for the time patriarchal marriage, He had to take the Religion of the father - the head of the family.
The rise of the Roman Catholic Church?
A: First, as a Catholic, I take issue with the term "Roman Catholicism" or "Roman Catholic." That term did not come into existence until the Protestant Reformation. The term was created by Protestants to describe The Catholic Church. Earliest use of the term was the 16th Century. The Catholic Church Herself does not accept this "qualifier."Example 1: The Catechism of The Catholic Church is not titled: The Catechism of The Roman Catholic Church. There's a reason for that -- such a title would be theologically inaccurate and misleading.Example 2: when referring to The Orthodox Church, we do not call Her The Russian Church or The Greek Church. To do so is inaccurate and dismissive/insulting because The Orthodox Church does not describe Herself by such "qualifiers."Technically, there is no such thing as "the Roman Catholic Church."Second: therefore, the answer to your question is: The Catholic Church "rose" -- came into actual/official existence -- at Pentecost.
What is the difference between the Greek Orthodox Church and the Armenian Catholic Church?
The Armenian Catholic Church is an Eastern Catholic Church in communion with the Pope in Rome. What that means is that a member of a local Catholic Church and a member of the Armenian Catholic Church are essentially the same. The Apostle Peter is considered to be the first Pope and founder of Roman Catholicism. Tradition tells us that the Eastern churches were formed by others of Jesus's Apostles after his death and resurrection. It is interesting to note that many of the Eastern churches have been in and out of communion with Rome, and that most if not all of the Eastern churches (19+ from different parts of the world) have counterpart churches with virtually the same traditions which are not in communion with Rome. Roman Catholics can attend Masses and take Communion in Eastern Catholic Churches and vice versa, but the liturgies (order of the Mass) will be very different.
