ok, so if she remarries, and then her and her new husband die, when she goes to heaven will she have two men? i mean, she will be with her old husband there too, wouldn't she?

Catholics believe that Marriage ends at death, hence the vow, "Until death do we part."
There is no problem in the Catholic Church if a widow remarries.
With love in Christ.

No. It is only against Catholic beliefs if a divorced person remarries without getting the first marriage annulled.

Yes. Let me explain.
It is "Until death do us part."
However, if the Church should find reason that the marriage may not have been valid, which is through the process of annulment, then they may say that the first marriage never happened. It is OK then.
In other words, she wouldn't be remarrying. So yes, the Church is against remarrying.

The vows taken in a Catholic marriage state "until death do us part", so the church recognizes the marriage as ended when one of the couple dies. A widow or widower is free to marry in the Catholic church.

No and not against the Bible either. A woman is no longer bound to her husband and vise versa when the spouse is dead. There will be no marriage in the coming kingdom of heaven but those which make it will be like the angels.

My Aunt was a Roman Catholic whose 1st husband died. She remarried another Catholic in the Catholic church.

No, it's all good. That is completely acceptable. Since widows often still had to support their children, they were almost expected to remarry.

No. The vows say "till death do we part" . Once a spouse dies the other is free to remarry.

Nope, she's OK to marry as long as she didn't get divorced (heaven protect us!).
The anti-divorce thing seems very archaic to me.

Not at all. Her husband passed away, she is free to do as she pleases.
