Hello I'm a Catholic, I married a divorced woman in a United Church. We're now divorced due to her non religious believes. Can I remarry within the Catholic Church, since I never married in the Catholic church the first time.

Yes- you can remarry in the Catholic church, but must take new wife to church and be baptized before then. In the catholic religion it is somewhat of a sin to divorce, but good thing is, you are forgiven for sins, because you belive in Jesus. Good luck in next marriage.

Hello and thanks for the answers, but can someone please answer me why I can remarry into the Catholic church for my second marrieage. Is it because my first marriage to a divorced catholic woman is not valid in the eyes of the Catholic Church, or because I got married in a United Church. Please clarify. Thanks Bruno

In the eyes of the Catholic church, if you were not married by a Catholic priest in a Catholic church, they do not recognize your marriage. Ergo, you may be married in the Catholic church. If the marriage was recognized, you would be able to have it annuled.

Hi, a similar thing is happenning with my husband right now. He was baptized catholic and we were married in a civil ceremony. He was previously married in another civil ceremony. The first marriage is not recognized by the catholic church, but we still need to get it anulled to marry in the church. It is apparently easy to do (comparatively) due to "lack of form" i.e. the first marriage is declared invalid (just as our marriage is invalid) because a catholic must marry in the catholic church. I think all you need to take to your parrish is your baptismal certificate, marriage certificate and divorce decree to get the anulment. Talk to your priest to be sure though.

Yes you can. Talk to a priest. Your previous marriage is only legally recognized by the Church so you would have to produced legal proof of divorce. Your civil marriage is only considered sacramental if blessed by the Church. Once married in the Church you will not be able to divorce (unless you can get an annulment which basically states it was a NOT a real marriage to begin with) so chose well next time. I left my husband 3 years ago and my divorce is not recognized by the Church. The annulment process can be expensive and there is no guarantee of a positive outcome. Cheers

All previous marriages, civil or religious, have to be dealt with before someone can be married in the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church believes that God does not recognize civil divorces. Jesus said, "Therefore what God has joined together, no human being must separate." (Mark 10:9) However there may be hope of a declaration of nullity. The term "annulment" is a misnomer because the Church does not undo or erase a marriage bond. Rather the Church issues a declaration of nullity when it discovers that the parties were not truly joined by God and hence a full spiritual sacramental marriage as understood by the Church was not present. Then the parties are free to marry for the first time. Approach the appropriate person your in your parish who has been trained in the process. If you encounter difficulties, you may go directly to the diocese. Be prayerful, honest and patient. It takes a while. With love in Christ.
