Does the Catholic Church recognize Lutheran marriages?
The Catholic Church recognizes all legal marriages between baptized Christians. Churches do not marry people. People marry people and the priest/minister is a witness.
Does the Catholic Church recognize marriages of the Orthodox Church?
Yes, it does.
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.
If a Catholic is divorced legally but not through the church and then marries a divorced non-Catholic what must they do to be accepted into the Roman Catholic church?
Both persons' first marriages must be annulled by Church, and then the couple must marry with a Catholic ceremony. If either of the first marriages are found valid by the Church and are not annulled, then the Catholic and divorced non-Catholic cannot validly marry in the eyes of the Church.
How do you get your marriage recognized by the Catholic Church?
All marriages between non-Catholics are recognized as valid by the Catholic Church. In case of non-Catholic baptized persons, all marriages (also civil marriages!) are recognized as sacramental marriages. In case of non-baptized people, they are recognized as valid, but not sacramental marriages. For baptized Catholics, there is a requirement of form in order to have a valid sacramental marriage. If you have married without observing these requirements or without getting a dispensation from the Church authorities, then your marriage is considered invalid. It can be recognized retroactively by the Church though, in a short ceremony which is called "sanatio in radice" (healing at the root). Ask your local Catholic pastor about it!
Does the Catholic Church issue annulments for non-sacramental marriages?
Yes, as in the case of a non Catholic Christian married in another church and divorced who wants to marry in the catholic church
When did Catholic priests get licensed to perform marriages?
Catholic priests have always had the authority to perform marriages but I am assuming they are licensed to perform marriages when they are ordained. Marriage, or matrimony, is one of the Seven Sacraments of the Church. Also, Catholic priests do not perform marriages but they actually witness them.
Can you get married in a Catholic church if you were married twice in a non Catholic ceromony?
If your first two marriages get annulled.
Does the Catholic Church recognize marriages on a boat?
If the marriage was conducted by a Catholic priest or deacon, yes. However, the Church generally prefers a marriage take place in Church.
Can a Catholic get married in a Orthodox Church?
As long as you are Christened you can marry in an Orthodox church - but you will need quite a bit of paper work translated.Roman Catholic AnswerA Catholic is required to marry in front of a priest, preferably his pastor, or someone whom his pastor has delegated. He may marry elsewhere with a dispensation (if such a dispensation is given). You should talk to your parish priest about this.
Is the church really intervening in the state?
Yes--the Mormon Church and the Catholic Church lobbied successfully in California to ban gay marriages.
Does the Catholic Church issue annulments for same-sex marriages?
No, because it does not sanctify same sex marriages. They can not be and therefore there is nothing to annul.
