Probably. If the Catholic man did not gain permission from his bishop to be married by a minister who is not a Catholic priest or deacon, the Church will not recognize that prior marriage as being valid. Thus, in the eyes of the church he was never married to begin with.

If he got a civil divorce from his first "wife" then he would be free under secular law to remarry. Since he was never married before in the eyes of the Church, it is likely that he can marry a Catholic woman (assuming she was never married) in the Catholic church. He should consult with his pastor for a review by a canon lawyer.

Can you be accepted into the Catholic church to be a nun if you were divorced?

Yes, but not unless the marriage is annulled. If the woman was Catholic and married by a Justice of the Peace with no church involvement, then the nullity is straightforward; however if she was married in a Catholic service the nullity is a long process; and there is no guarantee of acceptance as her past history will be under scrutiny.Roman Catholic AnswerIf you are asking what the question reads, then, no, you can not be accepted into the Catholic Church to be a nun - period. You can be accepted into the Catholic Church. After you have been a practicing Catholic for at least a year, you may discern a vocation to the religious life. If you have previously been married and divorced, that would have to be annulled as stated above, before you could proceed.
