Possibly. The people above who said otherwise are mistaken.
The Catholic person will need dispensation to marry in the Church of Christ. The Catholic person can get this by speaking with his/her priest, who will send a letter to the bishop explaining the situation. Only the bishop can grant dispensation, but it does happen all the time.
Both of the spouses will have to be "free to marry," which means that any previous marriage would have received a decree of nullity from the Catholic Church (even if that marriage was not performed in a Catholic Church or any church at all).
The diocese/archdiocese may have particular standards that the couple must keep. Usually this involves premarital counseling at the very least. Also, the Catholic spouse will have to agree to raise the children to know and understand the Catholic faith (the non-Catholic spouse does NOT have to agree to this).
Hope this helps.

The ministers of the sacrament of marriage are the couple themselves, therefore, it may or it may not be valid; the Church recommends, however, that the marriage be blessed by a priest.
I'm not sure to which Church you are referring. If it is the Church of Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormon) or Church of Christ Scientist (scientologists) then the marriage might be ipso-facto invalid; you will need to speak with a priest whom you can trust.
The necessary requirements are that it be *a public and permanent union, in the presence of witnesses, between a man and a woman, for the sake of bearing children.

as far as I know, any marriage outside the Catholic Church is not valid in the Catholic Church.

Not unless you later have your marriage validated in the Catholic Church.

I don't think it is valid. It may be a legal marriage alright but the Church will not recognize the marriage as Catholic.
