Can your baby be considered catholic if baptized in a Methodist church?
I'm afraid not. The Catholic church will consider the baby as a 'Christian' and not a 'Roman Catholic' since they were baptized. It's a valid sacrament in the eyes of the Catholic Church. However you need to talk to the parish priest in the Catholic Church and they'll guide you with more information as to make your baby a Roman Catholic.

Do protestants have to take classes at a Catholic Church to marry a Catholic in a protestant church?
Yes, not only must they take a class, but the Catholic must receive special permission (which is not always given) from the Bishop to have a wedding outside of a Catholic Church.

You were married twice in a Catholic church with no annulment is it a valid marriage?
If your first spouse is still living and there was no anullment, then it is very surprising that a Catholic priest agreed to officiate at your second wedding. Only an expert can say for certain, but it is unlikely that your second marriage is valid in the eyes of the Church.
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.
Are civil marriages valid in the eyes of GOD?
The depends on the religion of the couple celebrating the marriage ceremony. To contract marriage validly in the eyes of the Catholic Church, a Catholic is required to marry in a Catholic ceremony, even if they are marrying a non-Catholic. If neither party is Catholic, the Catholic Church would consider the civilly-wed couple to be validly married, but not sacramentally married.

Can a confirmed Episcopalian convert to the Catholic Church without having to be confirmed again?
Yes. While the catholic church recognizes the Baptism as valid it does not recognize the Confirmation as valid, since it requires administration by a priest having received the valid sacrament of holy orders. While the Catholic Church and Episcopal Church are close in tradition and both have seven sacraments, only Baptism is considered as valid.
Is marriage still valid in eyes of God if a Catholic and non Catholic got married in Catholic church and now divorcing?

Is absolution for a Catholic valid if obtained in a Lutheran Church?

Can I marry in a Roman Catholic church and a Greek Orthodox church?
Generally speaking, you can only be married in one, not both, otherwise you are getting married twice. Many people choose to marry in an Eastern Orthodox Church, and then perhaps have a blessing ceremony in a catholic church. The reason for this is because an Orthodox Wedding is accepted by all catholics, but a catholic wedding is not always accepted by all Orthodox bishops. An Orthodox wedding is accepted as valid by both. Answer2 A catholic wedding is not a valid wedding according to the Orthodox church (official position). Either you or your fiance have to be an Orthodox Christian to get married in an Orthodox church. Typically an Orthodox Priest will want both parties to come to pre-marital counseling and all the particulars of an Orthodox wedding and marriage will be discussed so that everyone is prepared. A famous example of this is when Grand Duchess Elizabeth who was at the time of her marriage Princess Elizabeth of Hesse Germany and a Lutheran married Grand Duke Sergei Alexandrovich of Russia. She later voluntarily converted to Orthodoxy (there is never any compulsion to convert).
