Is it possible for a catholic to divorce and remarry?

Answer 1

Yes.

However, all previous marriages, civil or religious, have to be dealt with before someone can be married in the Catholic Church.

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 declaration 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.

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

A divorce is only recognised by the State. To remarry you have to do it in a registry office but it'll only be recognised by the State.

To remarry in the eyes of the Catholic church you have to get an annulment from your first marriage.

Answer 3

Yes, it is possible for a catholic to divorce and remarry even if the church says no. Who listens to church. Its not right but people will do whatever their want to.

Answer 4

In the eyes of the catholic church you are still married, you cannot get married in the catholic church again but can in a registers office, unless you write to Rome for an annulment, you can get the forms from your priest - it takes a year or so and depends on the reason you got divorced, if it was your fault then don't bother applying. But why would you want to get married again?

Answer 5

Hi, you would have to get an annulment from the Pope to re-marry if you wanted to re marry in the Catholic Church. It is said that once you marry in the Catholic Church you will always be married even if you get a divorce, as you have been married in the eyes of God. You could divorce and marry in a civil ceremony.

Answer 6

Well you can get a Divorce from the State but I think the Catholic Church makes people get annulments or something like that.

Answer 7

yes...but the church willl not recognize you as a 'good' catholic...no last rites...no catholic burial..no 2nd marriage in a catholic church...but...you can buy an annulment of the first marriage to make it non existant in the eyes of the church. ( I have no idea how much they cost these days...you'd have to ask) then if you get that, then you can get remarried, etc and be a member of good standing in the catholic church again...

Answer 8

You can remarry only by the civil laws
but you can't remarry by the catholic church. according to the bible you only can remarry after one of the parties die. or under special circunstances it has tu be authorized by the Vatican in Rome

Answer 9

yes. But you might only be able to get a blessing from the church when you remarry

Answer 10

Yes legally you can, but not in the eyes of the church you can only re marry in a registery office you cannot have your second wedding in a catholic church. Hopefully this will change in time though.
