Catholic Answer

The man, in this scenario, would need to obtain an annulment if possible. Without an annulment, he is still validly married (even if divorced) and would not be eligible to marry. If he obtained an annulment, he should first ask the Jewish woman to attend RCIA in the interest of possible conversion. If she is not willing to convert, she still must be willing to raise any children as Catholics. If she is willing to do this, then they need to talk to a priest as a marriage between a Catholic and a non-baptized person requires permission from the Bishop. I would give this a lot of thought and prayer if the woman was unwilling to at least look into possible conversion as this would make for a very difficult marriage if permission can be obtained to go through with it.

Jewish Answer

The Catholic man would need to get an annulment from the Catholic Church in order to be religiously unattached. He should then seek a Rabbi to help him decide whether or not he wishes to convert to Judaism. If he does, he should convert before marriage. If not, the Jewish woman should decide whether she is willing to have an interfaith marriage. However, the children should be raised as Jews (and will halakhically be Jewish because the woman was Jewish).

Can a divorced Episcopalian marry a catholic in a catholic church?

For starters, Catholics are bound by Church law to marry according to the Catholic form of marriage unless they get a dispensation for just cause from the bishop. In this case, however, there is yet another impediment, as the Catholic Church considers sacramental marriage a bond indissoluble by human means. The divorced Catholic is, in the eyes of the Church, still married to his or her original spouse. To go to another faith tradition in order to "cheat" the Church on this matter is problematic in that it displays a lack of understanding as to why the Church believes as she does about marriage. Not to mention a lack of understanding as to the importance of fidelity to the faith they supposedly espouse.

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.

How long could you be married in order to qualify for an annulment?

Depending on the grounds for annulment (i.e., the Catholic couple did not marry in the Catholic Church) an annulment may take only a few months. Catholics are forbidden to marry outside the Catholic Church. For example, if one or 2 Catholics were merely married by a Justice of the Peace ("the secular state"), no sacramental marriage existed in the first place. An annulment would still be required if the couple divorced and one or both wanted to marry another in the Catholic Church. That annulment, however, could be pretty easily and quickly attained. Most annulments take between 1 to 2 years to obtain. And, not all Catholic marriages can be annulled. There must be legitimate grounds on which to annul any marriage.
