The church frowns on divorce whether Catholic or not, and recognizes the protestant marriage as valid unless it is annulled. Thus the protestant, if remarried, cannot enter the catholic church unless previous marriage is annulled. If the protestant has NOT remarried, then he/she CAN enter the roman catholic faith, but cannot remarry unless previous marrige is annulled. A lot also depends on the person's previous spouse faith and form of marriage if spouse was Catholic. A sit down with priest would be advised.

Until 1517, there were only two branches of Christianity; the Roman Catholic Church, which had the Pope as its head, and the Eastern Catholic Church, also known as the Orthodox Catholic Church, which was led by the Patriarch of Constantinople (later called Istanbul). If you were Christian, you were Catholic. In 1517, a Catholic Monk named Martin Luther nailed a list of 95 things he found wrong with the Church on the door of his parish church in Wittenburg, Germany (although lately there has been some question whether or not he actually and literally Nailed them). These were the 95 Thesis that were the basis of the Protestant Reformation. The "Protestant Reformation" was so called because Martin Luther, and the people who followed him, Protested the injustice and downright Blasphemy that they saw in the Catholic Church. There were all sorts of practices of the Church with which they disagreed, but the two Basic ideas that inspired the Protestant Reformation were (1) the idea that Every person had personal access to God, and had no need of a Priest to mediate with God for him/her, and (2) the premise that Faith alone was sufficient for Salvation. The Catholic Church held, and still does, that a combination of Faith and Service (works) was necessary. The churches that carried on these beliefs are called Protestant, and the people who attend are known as Protestants.
