Is marriage outside of the Church recognized by the Catholic Church?
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 a non-Catholic man married a Catholic woman in a Catholic church and the marriage ends in divorce how does the Catholic Church view this marriage and can the man later become a Catholic?
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.
How the church is a sacrament?

Can a man who is divorced and from the Baptist Church and is now a Catholic one day become a deacon?
Yes, because any marriage that is outside the Catholic Church, and not bound by the sacrament of Holy matrimony, is null and void. A cautionary note to the above: the Catholic Church recognizes marriages between baptized individuals as binding. If a Catholic attempts to contract marriage outside the Church then the marriage is null and void. However that applies only to a Catholic, since a Catholic is obliged by their religion to contract a sacramental marriage within the Church and ignorance of this duty is not an acceptable excuse. A baptist that marries another Protestant or even a Catholic - provided a dispensation has been acquired - is married in the eyes of the Church and cannot secure a divorce. The reason that baptized individuals who are non-Catholics are considered married is because marriage as a sacrament is administered by the baptized couple. The priest is only a witness. The validity of the sacrament as binding is secured without a priest in the case of non-baptized Catholics since they do not secure marriage this way out of maliciousness but out of ignorance., thus, validity is provided by the sacrament that they not live in sin as man and woman. Before the person can move to receive orders they must submit their marriage for scrutiny by the Church. If their marriage was valid, they cannot receive orders.

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.

Does the Catholic church recognize my marriage if I was married to a non Catholic in a non Catholic church when the marriage was witnessed by a deacon?
This is something you need to talk to your parish priest about. The Catholic Church is not obliged to recognise any marriage except those at which its own priests officiate. But because of the special circumstances of the Sacrament of Marriage (the Sacrament is conferred on each spouse by the other; the priest is present only as a sanctioned witness) there are many circumstances where a marriage may be considered valid (providing consummation has occurred) even though the Catholic ritual was not observed. The presence of a Deacon is irrelevant, as is the non-consecrated premises where your marriage took place. Whether or not the marriage is valid depends on you and your spouse alone. But it is a ticklish point in theology:- talk to a priest.
