Roman Catholic AnswerFor true consent to a marriage, both parties must be of age, and must be free to consent (not bound by a previous marriage or religious vow). They must intend to enter a lifelong commitment and be open to children and the responsibility of rearing those children. Finally their consent must be voluntary and witnessed by a priest and two other witnesses.

If someone has been married by a judge and in the future later blessed in the catholic church can a Catholic tribunal anull the common law marriage?

All marriages (civil or otherwise) are assumed to be true marriages by the Catholic Church. To explore whether a marriage, in fact and law, existed a tribunal will study the case and present a finding according to canon law as to the validity of the marriage.A blessed marriage is not a declaration of validity, rather a welcoming of the couple the catholic community and an expression of joy from the community.The assumption is that the marriage is valid, but the blessing is not a finding of law.


Is it okay to marry a Mormon and let your kids be Mormon if you are Catholic?

No, if you are a true believer of the Catholic faith, it is important to you to marry a Catholic, so that your marriage can be sanctified the the Church, and so that your children can grow up as Catholics. Likewise, if your intended is a true believer of the Mormon faith, it is important for him or her to marry a Mormon, so that his or her marriage can be sealed in the temple, and so that his or her children can be born in the covenant.However, if neither of you place this kind of value on your respective religions then there is no problem at all.

Can Catholic deacons witness holy matrimony at non-Catholic churches?

If by "witness" you mean act in their official position as a representative of the Catholic Church in witnessing a marriage, then certainly not. Firstly, a Catholic priest is the ordinary witness to a marriage, a deacon would only be fitting in extraordinary circumstances, which are not here present. Secondly, a member of the Catholic hierarchy has no jurisdiction outside of the Catholic Church or over Non-Catholics. While it is true that all those who are validly baptized are baptized as Catholics, Protestants have deliberately removed themselves from the unity of the Catholic Church and Its jurisdiction. Thirdly, Catholics, and certainly Catholic ministers, are not allowed to actively participate in the ceremonies of any form of Christianity (i.e. non-Catholic) that has been condemned by the Church as heretical or schismatic.ANSWER:1. Hmm? Not sure about this. A catholic may certainly attend (and thus witness) the marriage of 2 non-catholics.2. I also believe that an Ordained Catholic Deacon may also serve as "celebrant"/officient at a marriage between 2 catholics in a catholic church/ceremony.3. I believe that an ordained Catholic Deacon may also serve, alongside a protestant minister, in a marriage between a catholic and a non-catholic held in a non-catholic Christian church.4. An ordained Catholic Deacon may NOT serve as THE officiant/celebrant at the marriage of non-catholics in a non-catholic church.This is complicated. More information is needed to answer the question. Recommend consulting a local parish priest.

Does a Catholic who was granted an annulment need to get remarried inside of the Church?

The only time you need to have an annulment is if one or both of you were married in the Catholic ChurchAnswer: Yes you'll need to obtain an official decree of annulment from the Catholic Church before you can be married again, this time in the Church. Such an annulment can be obtained pretty quickly though. Contact your parish priest.
