If i was married in a lutheren church do i have to get my marriage anuled thur the catholic church if I want m

Answer 1

Yes.

If you want to marry in the Catholic Church then you do have to have your first marriage declared null.

The Catholic Church believes that God does not recognize civil divorces.

Jesus said, "Therefore what God has joined together, no human being must separate." (Mark 10:9)

However there may be hope of a declarations of nullity.

The term "annulment" is a misnomer because the Church does not undo or erase a marriage bond.

Rather the Church issues a declaration of nullity when it discovers that the parties were not truly joined by God and hence a full spiritual sacramental marriage as understood by the Church was not present.

Then the parties are free to marry for the first time.

The procedure is the same whether or not there are children in the marriage. If a declarations of nullity is granted then the children are still considered legitimate and retain all legal rights.

Approach the appropriate person your in your parish who has been trained in the process. If you encounter difficulties, you may go directly to the diocese.

Be prayerful, honest and patient. It takes a while.

With love in Christ.

Answer 2

--Is Catholic--

Depends on exactly what your first marriage was. If both of you were baptized Christians (Trinitarian baptism), then yes you do need to get an annulment.

The Catholic Church recognizes the marriages of all baptized Christians as sacramental, unless shown to be other wise. All non sacramental marriages are also recognized by the Catholic Church as true binding marriages, but marriages where divorce is possible.

The Catholic Church also recognizes civil divorces and requires them before an annulment can be granted. If the marriage was sacramental, then the Catholic Church does not recognize the civil divorce as permission to get remarried. Rather the recognition is only for the separation of the worldly goods and legal standings.

Annulments And The Catholic Church: Straight Answers To Tough Questions by Edward N. Peters

For your own specific case, each diocese has leeway on how to run the Marriage Tribunals. You can petition for annulment in three locations 1.) Where you currently live 2.) Where you were married 3.) The location of the majority of the witnesses.

There are four basic things that will be looked at 1.) ability to consent 2.) understanding of the consent 3.) willingness to consent 4.) adherence to applicable forms and rites

Because Luther taught that marriage is not a sacrament and many Lutherans still hold to that you should have a simple case if you simply stick to the point that you were not taught that marriage was a sacrament through the official teaching of your Lutheran community (if that was your case) and that it was not your specific understanding at the time of marriage that you were entering into a permanent sacramental union.

As a side note, the annulment does not say that there was not a union/bond/contract but that there was not a sacramental marriage.

Answer 3

If you are baptised as a Catholic or your old spouse was baptised as a Catholic you need to have the first marriage annuled. I just went through this investigating for a friend.

Answer 4

Unless you were married in a Catholic church the first time, the church doesn't recognized that you were married at all.

Answer 5

If you were baptized Catholic, yes. If you ask a priest, they'll be able to explain all the steps. Make sure that you do this well in advance of your wedding date, cause it can take a long time.

Answer 6

You need to go talk to a Catholic priest in your area, he will be most willing to listen and help.

Answer 7

IF YOU WERE NOT MARRIED IN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH, YOU DO NOT NEED AN ANNULMENT.
