can a non-catholic get married in a catholic church?

Answer 1

Yeah, basically what everybody else is saying...At least one of the party has to be Catholic. Otherwise no.

Answer 2

Yes, under certain conditions.

1633 In many countries the situation of a mixed marriage (marriage between a Catholic and a baptized non-Catholic) often arises. It requires particular attention on the part of couples and their pastors. A case of marriage with disparity of cult (between a Catholic and a non-baptized person) requires even greater circumspection.

1634 Difference of confession between the spouses does not constitute an insurmountable obstacle for marriage, when they succeed in placing in common what they have received from their respective communities, and learn from each other the way in which each lives in fidelity to Christ. But the difficulties of mixed marriages must not be underestimated. They arise from the fact that the separation of Christians has not yet been overcome. The spouses risk experiencing the tragedy of Christian disunity even in the heart of their own home. Disparity of cult can further aggravate these difficulties. Differences about faith and the very notion of marriage, but also different religious mentalities, can become sources of tension in marriage, especially as regards the education of children. The temptation to religious indifference can then arise.

1635 According to the law in force in the Latin Church, a mixed marriage needs for liceity the express permission of ecclesiastical authority.137 In case of disparity of cult an express dispensation from this impediment is required for the validity of the marriage.138 This permission or dispensation presupposes that both parties know and do not exclude the essential ends and properties of marriage; and furthermore that the Catholic party confirms the obligations, which have been made known to the non-Catholic party, of preserving his or her own faith and ensuring the baptism and education of the children in the Catholic Church.139

Answer 3

The Catholic Church allows marriage between Catholics and non-Catholics.

Because the Church recognizes the tremendous challenge that the interfaith couple will face, they may have to get permission from the bishop.

Answer 5

A lot of times it depends on the particular parish priest. My brother married his first wife in the catholic church but they only had the choice of having the wedding at 3 pm (no high mass) and they couldn't be up on the altar they had to be right in front of the pews.

Answer 8

No, you have to be a confirmed catholic to marry in the catholic church even if your partner is confirmed catholic. You can take classed to be confirmed. Also, you cannot be divorced. If you were married before it had to have ended in an annulment.

As long as one of you are catholic, you jump through a bunch of hoops and agree to give first dibs to your first born male child to the Priest rather than Michael Jackson...
