The Catholic Church does not accept that any baptism can be annulled. An ecclesiastical annulment is a declaration that a marriage never took place in spite of the couple undergoing a ceremony. Baptisms are conducted on the basis of either the faith of the person being baptised (if an adult) or the parents who promise to raise the child as a practising Christian. The Catholic Church teaches that a baptism cannot be repeated nor erased. Thus, Christians from other denominations are not rebaptised if the join the Catholic Church. This is because, in Baptism, the Church celebrates: (a) God's declaration that the person being baptised is His child (b) the person becoming a member of the Body of Christ (c) the forgiveness of sin. Regardless of subsequent actions on the part of the person being baptised, these declarations remain valid in the mind of the Church.

Can a Catholic widower marry a woman who married in a Methodist church but the marriage was annulled?
It depends, if the Methodist woman's marriage was annulled in a civil court, or if she was divorced and annulled in a protestant church: it would still need to be annulled by the Catholic Church. The Church *always* defends the bond, except in rare open and shut cases. You need to speak to a priest about this. If the woman's marriage is annulled by the Catholic Church, THEN you must receive permission from the Bishop for a mixed marriage, or she could convert.
