Hi, guys —
I have read your responses to questions on
matters of Catholic faith with interest.
I have also read an article on annulments and marriage by Rev. Michael Smith Foster, J.C.D.
which you referred to
one of your questioners written by a Catholic
priest from Boston.
I hope that my question, based on the article
you referenced, won't take too much of your
time.
In the article, the following was said:
"... two Catholics must marry in
the presence of an authorized priest or
deacon and two witnesses. If they do not,
the Church does not recognize a marriage." |
- So what is the Church's position on a
marriage that took place between a baptized
Protestant man and a baptized Catholic
woman in a Protestant church, without the
presence of an authorized priest or deacon?
- Does the Church recognize that a marriage
took place?
Thanks in advance,
James Duarte
