I can see Legend99's point. My situation was a sort of variation on a theme! But here goes for what it's worth. I'm a Catholic. I'd never been married before. I wanted to marry current hubby. He had been married twice before!! Yep! He's English - what can I tell ya! He was never married in a Church. His mother (God bless her) had him christened as a baby (God knows why, because she never darkened the Church door after that). We were married in a Catholic church in 2002 without any big deal at all. (Of course the priest needed to see the previous two decree absoluts etc etc etc). As far as I could ascertain, and I'm pretty sure of this, the reason the priest had no problem marrying us (and Archbishops House had no problem giving permission) was (a) because hubby was never married in Church and was therefore 'not married in the eyes of the Church' AND (b) because hubby is a baptised Catholic. I know it's not the same situation as the original poster's, but it may throw some little light on the subject for somebody.legend99 said:I'm confused. I thought that strictly speaking he was never married in a catholic church so do the catholic church still see him as being divorced...my understanding was that say yuo got married in a registry office and then got divorced that you could marry for your second marriage and be married in a catholic church as they never viewed you as married.
