You have OUTED yourself as being very ignorant of Church Law.
“. If you choose a non-Catholic wedding, you are not considered married by the Catholic church. If you are not Catholic, I do not see why this would bother you. If you are Catholic, you should be informed about the implications.”
WRONG! The Catholic Church honors and respects other marriages which take place in another Christian Church.
Buy this book. Read it. Then get back to all of us.
It has a VALID Imprimatur and it supports what I have posted.
I never claimed to be an authority on Catholicism, just relaying what I understand of Church teachings. I even stated that at the end of my post. Honor and respect are one thing, but I don’t believe that the Catholic Church considers a marriage outside of the Church to be a valid sacramental marriage. You are very angry about this subject, and I don’t think I have done anything to deserve your rudeness. Since you are so versed in Catholic law, answer me this...If someone is divorced after a marriage that was not Catholic, do they have to get that marriage annulled in order to remarry in the Catholic Church?
Love,
