Why is it important for it to be valid to the Catholic church as long as it's valid to God? I think you're missing some info for us to help you out.

we don't think the only marriages performed via the Catholic Church are valid, basically whilst this is bearing on somebody who's Catholic. Re-study the article. he's asserting that we are able to in no way condone the secular marriage between 2 females or 2 men as this is against God. somebody might desire to communicate and we are status up and asserting "this is incorrect". We additionally do no longer understand marriages of divorced couples as "what God has joined, no possible ruin" and consequently in the previous God, you're nevertheless married till the marriage vows have been invalid (annulment). Civil marraiges are no longer in the previous God, consequently they do no longer seem to be valid the two. yet you have got your marriage blessed, the place you reinstate your vows in the previous God.

Marriages between nonCatholics are presumed valid in the eyes of the Church.
If either party is Catholic, the marriage only has presumed validity if it is performed in the Catholic church or with the Church's permission.
This is preserve the dignity of the Sacrament.

The short answer: Yes. Church Canon only deals with Christian marriage.
Marriage law generally:

While a marriage between a Catholic and non Catholic is invalid, two non-Catholics marrying is not in the perview of the Church, nor subject to it's laws.

I was married outside the Catholic church. Heck outside Christianity! If the church doesn't see may marriage a valid that's fine with me but unfortunately for them my priestess was certified to marry me and my husband and i got the certificate of marriage to prove it. So does it really matter if the .....church...thinks its valid? It only matters if its valid to you or whatever God/gods/goddesses witness your marriage.

Absolutely.
If I (Catholic) wanted to marry a Russian who was Buddhist and Divorced from a Japanese wife ... well, the Church says that the marriage between the Russian man & Japanese woman is still "bonded" (by God) and that I'm commiting adultry if I date the Russian man.
