One must be catholic, the other can be of different religion but must allow the children to be raised Catholic, must have Baptism, Confirmation, and Holy Communion records, state license, and pre-Cana counseling. The marriage must take place in a Church before a Bishop, Priest, or Deacon, preferably the home parish of the Catholic bride.

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.
What are some reasons the Catholic Church may declare a marriage Null and Void?
Roman Catholic AnswerA decree of nullity (popularly called an annulment) is issued if it can be proved that no valid marriage ever took place. The easiest one would be lack of form: one of the people attempting the marriage was a Catholic and they attempting marriage outside the Church, without a priest or permission to do so - for instance a Catholic who "married" someone in a protestant ceremony or before a Justice of the Peace. Or if they had entered a valid marriage, got a civil divorce, and then attempted to marry again - the second "marriage" would be declared null. Other cases are more difficult, the person had a Catholic wedding but they attempt to prove that something was missing that was necessary for a valid marriage - complete consent, or intention to be open to life (not to enter into a marriage intending to use birth control).
How does the Catholic Church decide annulments?
Roman Catholic AnswerAn annulment is a decree that no valid sacramental marriage ever took place. The Church does a thorough investigation, interviews all of those who were involved, and tries to decide if everything for a valid marriage was in place, and that there were no impediments. If something necessary for a valid marriage was missing, or there was an impediment which was not dispensed with, then no valid marriage took place. They can only look at what happened up to and including the actual wedding. Nothing after that would affect the validity of the marriage.
Can you marry a Catholic girl even if you have been divorced and you are not Catholic and not married in a Church?
Not 100% sure on this, but the answer is No, since the Catholic Church recognizes the non-Catholic marriage as valid. That previous marriage would have to go through an annulment process.Roman Catholic AnswerThe above answer is correct. The question is whether your first marriage is valid. If it is valid, then you may not marry again as long as your spouse is alive. An annulment is a decree that no valid marriage ever existed. If you and your spouse are both baptized, then, in all probability your first marriage would be valid, even if it wasn't in Church as a valid marriage is contracted by two Christians who are not Catholic. If one of you has been baptized, then there would probably not be a valid marriage. In any case you still need to have it examined. I believe, however, that if you have not be baptised at all, and wish to convert and be baptized, then there is the Pauline privilege which would allow you to be married in the Church.

Can a person who was married and divorced while a protestant be admitted to the roman catholic faith?
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.

Does a divorced Baptist man need an annulment to marry a Catholic in the Catholic Church?
A divorced Baptist male may or may not need an annulment of his prior marriage from the Catholic Church in order to marry a Catholic in the Catholic Church. Although Baptists are able to re-marry after divorce, Catholics may divorce but may not re-marry unless the sacrament of the first marriage has been declared null. If the divorced Baptist did not have a valid Christian marriage (that is, one spouse was not a validly baptized Christian, or the ceremony was not Christian, then the annulment process is much simpler - but any prior marrriages still need to be declared null). If the first marriage was a valid Christian ceremony, then the couple desiring a marriage in the Catholic church will have to go through the 'formal' annulment process which takes considerably longer and is very thorough but very worthwhile if you love this person. The Catholic person cannot enter into a valid marriage unless this is done.
