I was born Catholic but my family converted to Christians when I was 8. I never confirmed as a Christian, only baptized as a Catholic. When I was 19, I got married by the JOP to an atheist. Then got divorced at 21. Now that I'm 25, I met the right guy and want to marry him. He's Catholic (baptized, had 1st communion, and confirmed) and wants to get married in the Church. Am I still qualified to get married in the Church since I am still considered Catholic? Do I still have to get an annulment? Another fact, my ex husband passed away a few months ago.

OK the main fact here is that your Ex is not alive. Marriage in the Catholic Church is considered to last "til death do you part". Seeing as he is dead, you are no longer married in the eyes of the church.
You were baptized Catholic, but were not confirmed. You can be married in the Church! You do not even need to be Catholic to be married in the Church, you just need to agree to raise any children as Catholic!
Best wishes and happiness!!

You were not Married in an Catholic Church but in an Civil Wedding by a Justice of the Peace. Therefore you can get Married in an Catholic Church and dont need an Annulment. The Catholic Church does not recognise a Civil Wedding as it was not Solomnised before God in a Catholic Church so therefore you were never Married. Many Years ago an Uncle of Mine who was Catholic Married a Woman from Scotland who was Divorced from Her first Husband. She had Converted to Catholicism some Years previously.She was able to Marry my Uncle in a Catholic church in Dublin, and Because she was originally a Protestant she had to Marry at a Side Altar, this was the bad old Days of Bigotry in the RC Church about 1958.The Catholic Church did not Recognise a Protestant Wedding as being Legitimate in the Eyes of God hence no Annulment needed.Church Laws are different to State Law, and while everything is Kosher according to the Government it might not be when it comes to Religeon.Best Wishes on your Wedding Day and Many Happy Returns.

you will desire to never lie -- it is not comparable to you may fool God, and it quite is a foul thank you to begin a marriage. in case you marry the muslim guy and later divorce and desire to marry somebody else interior the Catholic Church, you may bypass in the time of the comparable technique as each physique else. you may prepare for a decree of nullity and you gets it quite genuinely for "loss of canonical style" considering which you married a muslim in a muslim ceremony without dispensation OR in case you sought dispensation purely before the muslim marriage and gained it, you would be able to desire to probably get it on different grounds (mutually with saying your purpose to divorce in the previous the marriage even occurred). Why do no longer you purely marry the impressive guy interior the impressive way so which you do no longer would desire to wrorry approximately divorce and remarriage in any respect?

Okay my answer was that yes you had to get an annulment by the church to get married until your final sentence. Your Ex's death changes EVERYTHING. I believe you are considered a widow by church standards....check with a priest.

The Church would not recognize your Jp marriage if you considered yourself Catholic. Also,since your ex is dead you only need a death certificate and no annulment or decree of nullity.

Texting lets you control the tone and establish what kind of conversation you want to have. Learn here https://tr.im/FT7kf
This is probably the most important part. With texting, you can stop and think about what you want to say to your ex at each step of the way. Instead of reacting emotionally, you can take your time, figure out the right thing to say (I’ll give you most of it), and be strategic with your ex without saying something that you’ll regret.

If your first husband has died then you can marry in the Catholic Church. Catholics marry "until death do we part."
If your first husband was alive then you would have to get a declaration of nullity.
With love in Christ.

You need to talk to a parish priest about the conditions, and regarding your chances for an annulment. Even though your ex has died, you are not a widow, but divorced.

most likely since you married and atheist you could get the church to see that as an anulment and not a real catholic marriage
