Neither of your marriages were valid, in the eyes of the Church, unless you received a dispensation to marry a Greek Orthodox from your diocese. If you did, you'll need to seek an annulment of that marriage. If not, you weren't validly married.

You ought to make a good confession, but, other than that, you have no reason to go to the diocese for anything.

I hadn't thought about that aspect. Good point.

It could be more complex than that. If she "apostized" and joined the Greek church before the marriage, then there would be the issue of apostasy, but the marriage would be valid.

You ought to make a good confession, but, other than that, you have no reason to go to the diocese for anything.

Even in the scenario you paint, there is still the question of the current marriage, which is almost certainly invalid. Going to confession is not going to solve that problem. If you are "living in sin" in the current situation, then the confession would only be valid if you intend to break off the sinful situation, and in any case you'd be right back where you started the next day.

But she has remarried, even though civil, and even though not valid. I don't believe she can receive Communion until an annulment for the first marriage takes place. Then she can take steps to have the second marriage blessed. Then she could receive the sacraments.

Or am I all wrong here.
