Are divorced Catholics welcomed in the Church?

Updated: 8/18/2023

If the divorced person is not remarried without an annulment of the first marriage the Church simply considers them as separated. The Church does not recognize divorce. Therefore they are able to fully participate at Mass and the sacraments. However, if the person has remarried without first obtaining an annulment they are considered adulterous. They are welcome to assist at Mass but are banned from receiving the sacraments until such time as they have annulled the first marriage and then been married again in the Church.

Yes, as long as they do not remarry without obtaining an annulment they are full members of the Church. The Church does not recognize divorce.

If you have converted to Catholicism will the church recognize your extant marriage to a non-Catholic?

If neither one of you were ever divorced, the Church will recognize the marriage. Even if one of you were divorced, an annulment can still be obtained. The Church generally recognizes marriages between non-Catholics as valid. The requirement to have a Catholic marriage only applies if at least one of the parties is Catholic at the time of marriage. The Catholic Church also teaches that non-Catholic marriages between non-Catholics cannot be dissolved except in extreme cases.
