Catholic AnswerWhile you are in RCIA, that is the class you need to take to convert to the Catholic Church, at that time, the priest will process your marriage. If you wish, your marriage may be either recognized by the Church, or more probably, they will conduct a Catholic marriage ceremony, you will need to speak to your priest about this.Wiki User

Can a non Catholic who married a divorced non Catholic become Catholic?
yes of course anyone/everyone can choose whatever religion they wantRoman Catholic AnswerYou need to speak with a priest. The Catholic Church recognizes most marriages outside the Church as valid marriages, so when you are coming into the Church one of the first things that will have to look at is to see what can be done to regularize your marital situation. If the divorced non-Catholic can obtain a decree of nullity for the first marriage, then there is no problem. If, however, a decree can not be had (because the marriage was valid), then that would involve you having to take a serious look at your priorities. Of course you may become a Catholic but it would probably involve you living a chaste life as far as your spouse was concerned. Again, these are only possibilities, you need to speak with a priest.

When will the Catholic Church get with the times and allow women to become priests?
Roman Catholic AnswerThe Catholic Church was established by God, it is the Mystical Body of Our Blessed Lord, and His Spouse; it is guided by the Holy Spirit. The last thing that the Catholic Church would ever do would be to "get with the times". God has revealed and the Holy Father has definitively ruled that only men can be priests, it is a physical impossibility to ordain a woman to the priesthood.
How can a Catholic become a vicar?
He would have to be appointed by his bishop.
Can a Catholic divorce if he became Anglican?
A Catholic can divorce and remain a Catholic as long as the person does not remarry. The Catholic Church does not recognize divorce so would consider the person as separated from the spouse. To remarry the person would have to obtain a Church annulment or the previous spouse would have to die. If the person remarries without an annulment, that person would be considered as an adulterer and could not receive the sacraments. The Anglican Church, as we have seen with Henry VIII's life, is much more liberal when it comes to divorce.
Is it a sin to give up your spouse to devote your life to becoming a saint in the Catholic Church?
That depends on what you mean by "give up your spouse". If you are legitimately married in the Catholic Church, which is a sacrament, which helps you on your way to salvation, then your way to salvation INCLUDES helping your spouse to become a saint, so there few ways in which you can become a saint without at least helping your spouse to also become a saint. In the past, there have been instances where both spouses, out of love for God, have mutually agreed to separate and enter religious life, or the husband to become a priest, and the wife to enter a convent. This would probably come under the same theory that allowed a religious to leave their Order if they were willing to enter a *stricter* Order, for instance, a Benedictine could get permission from the Vatican to be released from his vows to his monastery in order to enter a Cistercian or Trappist monastery, or Carthusian hermitage. . However, to just LEAVE your spouse to try to become a saint would result in failure before you ever started, as you may never do evil to try to do good, and to "give up" your spouse would normally be evil in and of itself. If you are having these thoughts, you should disclose them fully to your confessor or spiritual director immediately.
Can someone who hasn't been christened but husband is Catholic and had a civil wedding have a Catholic funeral?
Not per se, but in one instance, I do know of a priest who has performed a funeral for a non-baptized spouse of a Catholic. You would have to speak to your pastor about this.
Can a non Catholic be buried in a Catholic cemetery?
Usually, no. But, I believe that non-Catholic spouses of Catholics may be buried in Catholic cemeteries. For example, the protestant spouse of a Catholic may be buried in the Catholic cemetery. I don't know of any other instances in which this would be allowable, but it may depend on local rules.
Can a divorced non-Catholic not married in a Catholic Church remarry in a Catholic church without an annulment?
Yes, a Catholic can marry a Pentecostal. Marriages in the Catholic tradition can take place either within a Mass or not. Generally, if a Catholic marries a non-Catholic they do not celebrate sacrament of matrimony during Mass but rather have a service. This service is just as Sacramental for the Catholic spouse as a marriage within a Mass would be for two Catholics getting married. There are some conditions however: For a Catholic to marry a Pentecostal and have their marriage recognized by the Church and thus be sacramental for the Catholic spouse, the couple would have to go through the regular marriage prep as required by their parish and the Pentecostal spouse would have to make certain commitments, such as acknowledging that the Catholic spouse has a commitment to raise the offspring in the Catholic faith.
