If two Catholics get divorced, this isn't seen as a proper ending to the marriage, therefore they can't remarry someone else in a Catholic church. However, if the two remarry each other, can they have a Catholic wedding then or is there actually no point because according to the church, they've been married the whole time?
According to the Church, they've stayed married. The Church wouldn't marry them again.
They'd have to remarry in a Register Office, though, to give them back their legal rights as married people (e.g. pension rights).
This is the first film i made and i had to do it for an RE homework. Hope you all like it!
Hi all.
I am a non catholic but greek orthodox which are similar in many ways .
I am not very practising to be fair but hold onto it mainly as it is part of my heritage .
She is catholic and wants a church wedding and i am fine in doing that.I even agreed that our kids will be raised catholic(let them decide if they want to change when adults i say).
Our marriage is sort of planned for october and here is the problem.
I read about all the things that i need to do ie pre marital classes and i am happy to go there .
However,she works far off and lives there and will not be able to come to where i live till a month to the wedding as she is tied up with work there till then.
She is not registered in any parish in this country and has asked me to go register myself and set the dates and plans.
Now here is my dilemma ,considering i will do the whole arrangement for the church wedding does this mean i have to convert?
Surely,if i have to register with a catholic church ,it means you are a practising catholic(would expect that of any faith).
I obviously love her and am willing as a last resort to do this but really would like to keep my faith .
just as additional info.
I used to work where she lives for 2 years but moved back to my country last month .
She is to join me here 1 month before the wedding and then live her.
Thus she is not registered here.
There is no need to convert, in order to make the church etc arrangements. Explain your concerns to the priest and get your questions answered :) I have heard that some parishes require an addt'l fee, if you are not a parishoner and plan to be married in their church. The pastor should be able to clear this up for you.
My fiance are having a catholic ceremony in May. Our reasoning for the catholic ceremony is really for our family and we our both catholic although I am not really a practicing catholic. I just lost my job and we need to get married ASAP so I can get on his insurance. So we were just going to go to the courthouse for a civil marriage and then still have our catholic service. How does this work? Will the church find out if we have a civil service first?
Yes, the church will find out when they tell you to get a marriage license, and you already have one that is signed and says you are married.
If you don't live together and don't have sex in between the time of your civil marriage and your Catholic wedding, it should be no big deal. Just TELL THE PRIEST -- don't try to hide it.
Also, you don't have to get married ASAP to get on his insurance -- you can do COBRA until the wedding. U.S. employers are required by law to offer it to you. And you could also get private insurance -- call your insurance rep for information.
If someone is catholic and wants to marry someone who is not. Can they get married in a catholic church?
Yes. The Catholic must state that he/she will do everything possible to raise the children in the Catholic faith. And also state that the marriage is not a threat to his/her Catholic faith. the non-Catholic does not have to promise anything, but must be made aware of the required statements made by the Catholic party.
if you want a divorce from a catholic marriage you have to go to counseling with a man who has never even had a sexual relationship(supposedly)
Yeah, seems pretty screwey...kinda like a social worker fresh out of college with no kids.

Maine organization loses CCHD funds over support for same-sex ...
WASHINGTON (CNS) -- A Maine social service center that runs an advocacy program for homeless people has been asked to return $17,400 in Catholic Campaign for Human Development funding because of its support for same-sex marriage.
Preble Street Resource Center in Portland, Maine, violated the funding contract for its Homeless Voice for Justice advocacy program by joining a 2009 campaign that urged voters to defeat a ballot measure calling for the repeal of the state's same-sex marriage law, Ralph McCloud, CCHD executive director, told Catholic News Service.
Maine voters supported the initiative in the November election, overturning a same-sex marriage law passed by the Maine Legislature in 2009.
CCHD learned about Preble Street's stance on the issue in November and followed up with an investigation, McCloud said.
...The Catholic Church#39;s Dirty Little Secret : One Penny Sheet
More than 40 years ago I, was automatically excommunicated from the Catholic Church for “attempting marriage.” Our “attempted marriage” was conducted at my parents’ home with four priests presiding together with my bride, the former Sister Maura Killene of Maryknoll who had served in Southern Chile. We have now celebrated four decades together and now have two children and five grandchildren. There is nothing “attempted” about it. It is a wonderful marriage followed by a life of full-time work for justice and peace.
The excommunication has never upset me, mostly because of the guidance of my mother who had admonished me to “take it with a grain of salt.” This was her comment on many ecclesiastical directives, including celibacy. She was very disturbed that I went off to the seminary to become a priest in the first place.
