Catholic AnswerThere have been many famous reformers of the Catholic Church, among them several famous Popes. Of the most recent, Pope John XXIII started the reform that was called for by the Second Vatican Council, which has been implemented by Popes Paul VI, John Paul II, and Benedict XVI.No. A Catholic man can only remarry - if he is in fact eligible to do so - in a Catholic church via a Catholic ceremony presided over by a Catholic priest.
yes.
The Church is against divorse, but, I think if you were not married in the catholic church to begin with, it's all right as long as you don't lead him away from his religion.The Church is against divorse, but, I think if you were not married in the catholic church to begin with, it's all right as long as you don't lead him away from his religion.ANSWER:Reality: The Catholic Church would not support such a relationship b/c it could lead to a desire by both parties to marry. Before a divorced non-Catholic woman could marry a single Catholic man (or Catholic man w/annullment), the non-Catholic divorced woman would also need to obtain an annulment through the Catholic Church.If you love this man, get started with the Annulment process; it's slow.
He can certainly become Catholic. Divorce does not prevent one from participating in the Church in any way. The Church sees him as continuing to be involved in a nonsacramental, but valid, marriage. What he cannot do is to *remarry* since that would be adultery in the eyes of the Church.
Yes he can marry in the Catholic Church. Death of a spouse is the only form of 'divorce' recognized by the Catholic Church.
i think you have to get an anollement first.
A divorced man/ woman cannot get married in the catholic church again. The sacrament of matrimony can be received only once in the Roman Catholic Church.
Yes, because in the eyes of the Lord, they are not married. They are allowed to get married in a church, but only once, if it is in a Catholic church. --> See Catholism
Such a marriage would not be valid in the eyes of the Catholic Church. Catholics may marry non-Catholics in the Catholic Church, but they are not permitted to go through a non-Catholic wedding ceremony.
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.
obviously after the death of his wife
Answer: The Catholic widow is free to marry. You are also free to marry in the Catholic Church. This is because your first marriage was not a Catholic one and, according to Church law, it should have been. It will be simple matter of speaking to your local pastor and filling out a form to be sent to the diocese.
