Take it to the religion line to get a good answer on this one. But, catholics dont recognize , mixed marriages so to speak, in any way. Yet it still happens... However, the only way the catholic church would acknowledge the marriage at all is if it was done through your church. Otherwise, youre married through the state you live in, but through the church you worship through.
Good luck...

I never heard of getting an annulment from a divorce. I always thought you just got a marriage annulled or you got a divorce.
However I am catholic and you cannot get married in a non-catholic church unless a priest participates in the actual ceremony.
My brother did this several yrs. ago but it wasn't easy talking the priest into doing so.It did work out though.
If you get married in the non-catholic church without the priest,the church does not recognize your marriage.
What my brother did was called a mixed marriage.One party being catholic the other not.
We live in Canada.
Catholics do recognize mixed marriages.If there are children involved the church has you agree to raise them in the catholic church.

No you can't have a Catholic ceremony in a non-catholic church. But you can be of any denomination and get married in a non catholic church, you don't need an annulment to do so. You only need the annulment if you are going to marry in the Catholic church. Why YOU as a catholic didn't know this and I as a non-catholic do is amazing isn't it?

An annulment in the Catholic church follows a civil divorce. It has to be in that order. This frees that person to marry again in the Catholic Church. Not sure why an Episcopalian would get/need an annulment.....they can remarry no problem.
Contact your local parish and ask for the person handling marriage preparation. They can give you the details.

the annulment is beyond its statute.
you can marry anywhere you like but Catholic Church wont recognize the marriage its bound by their creeds.
the congregation more than likely wont have a cow over it.
