Yes, a non catholic woman can marry a catholic man in a catholic church. It is called mixed marriage if the woman is not prepared to be converted but however the children will be raised in a catholic way.

Yes.
The Catholic man needs dispensation to marry a non-Catholic, and both parties must present their sacramental record (i.e., baptismal certificates). If there is any previous marriage, that would have to be annulled, even if it was the non-Catholic woman's previous marriage. And the couple will have to meet all other standards set by the diocese, which generally includes premarital counseling, etc.
Only the Catholic man would have to agree to raise the children to know and understand the Catholic faith. The non-Catholic woman would NOT have to agree to this.

Yes, as long as one of the two is Catholic and neither have been divorced, they can get married in a Catholic Church.
I do believe that there is a required course that you must take first.

Yes.
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.
For more information, see the Catechism of the Catholic Church, sections 1633-1637: http://www.usccb.org/catechism/text/pt2sect2chpt3art7.htm#1633
With love in Christ.

Yes, my non-Catholic brother married his Catholic wife in a Catholic church.
They've been happily married for 25 years and my brother is still a Methodist, raising his kids as Catholics.

My cousin(male) married a Catholic gal in a huge Catholic wedding and he's not Catholic. I couldn't understand how they could do that though. They had been living together for yrs.

Yes, they don't even have to be Christian.
Of course they must agree to the Catholic partner practicing.
And not object to children being raised Catholic.

Yes, the only requirement is that any children be raised Catholic.

Yes. but you might have to jump thru a bunch of hoops to appease the Catholic Church. They have somef screwy rules about Catholics marrying non Catholics.
