Catholics believe marriage is forever because when a man and a women unite in this holy sacrament it's because they chose to be as one. The moment a man leaves his parents he then goes on to join a women in which he is united and through the eyes of God as the Catholics view it, they become one as Adam and Eve did. Also, in Matthew's 5:31 Jesus mentions the question on adultery and divorce in which he states the following "It was also said, Whoever divorces his wife must give her a written notice of divorce, But i tell you, everyone who divorces his wife, except in a case of sexual immorality causes her to commit adultery"

Basically stating that once a married couple who vowed loyalty to each other with the eucharist and in front of witness and especially in front of the lord and decides to break the vow will be committing adultery when he/she becomes involved with someone else, thus breaking the promise.

Also it is mentioned in Matthew 19:3-9

"Some Pharisees approached Him to test Him. The asked, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife on any grounds?"

"haven't you read," he replied, that he who created them in the beginning made them male and female and he also said

for this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two will become one flesh?

so they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, man must not separate."

"why then" they asked Him, "did moses command us to give divorce papers and to send her away?"

he told them, "Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because of the hardness of your hearts, but it was not like that from the beginning. And i tell you, whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immortality and marries another, commits adultery."

Can divorced Catholic marry an Episcopalian?

What is the Roman Catholic view on remarriage?

You have to get an annulment before you can, then its ok...Roman Catholic AnswerThe Catholic view is that marriage is a sacrament that is indissoluble, so the Roman Catholic view of "remarriage" is that there is no such thing. You could have a second marriage is your first spouse died, or you can renew your wedding vows on your anniversary but there is not such thing as remarriage. The above answer concerning annulments is a little mistaken, an "annulment" is a decree stating that what looked like a marriage actually wasn't. An annulment is a decree of nullity, a formal statement issued by the Church that looked into a supposed marriage and decided that no sacramental marriage ever took place. If is was valid, then an annulment could not be issued.


Can a divorced Episcopalian marry a catholic in a catholic church?

For starters, Catholics are bound by Church law to marry according to the Catholic form of marriage unless they get a dispensation for just cause from the bishop. In this case, however, there is yet another impediment, as the Catholic Church considers sacramental marriage a bond indissoluble by human means. The divorced Catholic is, in the eyes of the Church, still married to his or her original spouse. To go to another faith tradition in order to "cheat" the Church on this matter is problematic in that it displays a lack of understanding as to why the Church believes as she does about marriage. Not to mention a lack of understanding as to the importance of fidelity to the faith they supposedly espouse.

Would the Catholic Church allow a Catholic woman to marry a Muslim man?

A mixed marriage is a marriage between a Catholic and a non-Catholic. Disparity of Cult is a marriage between a Catholic and a non-baptized person. The later case is a diriment impediment to marriage, which may only be overcome with special permission from the Bishop. However, it is *never* recommended due to the problems involved in the marriage, the danger to the Catholic's faith, and the determent to the children from that marriage.


Can a divorced Catholic man marry to a Catholic convert woman in the Catholic church?

The answer depends upon whether the Catholic man's first marriage was canonically valid, and, if so, whether he has been granted an annulment. The marriage of a Catholic in a civil ceremony, for example, is not canonically valid in the eyes of the Church. In most cases, such a marriage would not require an annulment for a second marriage in the Church to take place. If, however, the first marriage was valid in the eyes of the Church, as for example, a Catholic wedding, then it will be necessary for the man's first marriage to be annuled before he can validly contract a second Catholic marriage.
