Catholics do not recognize non-catholic marriages as blessed or sacramental. Which sounds bad, but no other churches besides the Anglicans, Catholics, and Orthodox consider marriage a sacrament anyway.

Is there a name for the blessing of a marriage in a Catholic Church?

Validation


What is the term to use when a legal marriage is blessed in the Catholic Church?

Catholic AnswerMarriage. There is no such thing as "blessing" a civil or other religious marriage, you are either married in the eyes of the Church or you are not. If you are not, then you must get married, it is a real marriage ceremony. We have these all the time when a Catholic has been married outside the Church and the non-Catholic spouse goes through RCIA and converts, then they are married in the Church. "Blessing" is just a nice non-judgmental word to explain what you are doing to your protestant relatives who think you are already married.

Would the Catholic Church allow a Catholic woman to marry a Muslim man?

A mixed marriage is a marriage between a Catholic and a non-Catholic. Disparity of Cult is a marriage between a Catholic and a non-baptized person. The later case is a diriment impediment to marriage, which may only be overcome with special permission from the Bishop. However, it is *never* recommended due to the problems involved in the marriage, the danger to the Catholic's faith, and the determent to the children from that marriage.


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 person says they are Catholic to marry in a Catholic church and are not Catholic is the marriage legal?

in civil law: yes.in Church law: it depends. if it's a marriage between a Catholic and a non-Catholic, the marriage is only valid if these 3 conditions are consented to: 1) the Catholic is allowed to practice their faith unhindered, 2) their children are to be raised Catholic, and 3) the Catholic spouse must attempt to convert the non-Catholic spouse.if it's a marriage between 2 non-Catholics, I don't know.ANSWER:1. Why would 2 non-Catholics want to be married in the Catholic Church in the first place?And, if they do, then convert to the Catholic Faith.2. Proof of Catholic baptism & confirmation is required for at least ONE of the prospective spouses. The Church won't just "take your word for it."


Can a Catholic priest bless a marriage after an Episcopal ceremony?

If the marriage was done by Episcopal minister and not in the presence of a Catholic priest, or without approval of the Catholic Church, then, no, it cannot be blessed as the Catholic Church recognizes the episcopal marriage as valid.Catholic AnswerIf either of the parties involved in the Episcopal marriage ceremony were Catholic, then they are not married until such time as they get married before a priest in a Catholic Church as Canon Law requires that the marriage of a baptized (or converted) Catholic be before a priest or deacon. So it is not a question of a priest "blessing" a marriage (although this is a common term for a marriage in a Catholic Church following a civil marriage or any other religion) but of actually performing the wedding. They would have to apply to their priest and go through the normal preparation for marriage, including permission to marry a non-Catholic; and, of course, they would have to be in a state of grace; which would mean that the Catholic party would have to repent of the attempted marriage outside the Church in confession and be forgiven. Also, they should live as brother and sister until such time as the marriage is performed by a priest. They would need to speak to a priest right away.
