Hi, guys —

I would like to become Catholic, but I have a question about marriage.
Both my wife and I are currently Anglican; we got married at a registry office.

  • If I became Catholic, would our marriage be recognized?
Vincent
  { Based on our marital history, If I became Catholic, would our marriage be recognized? }

Eric replied:

Vincent,

  • If that was the first marriage for both of you, and
  • neither of you had previously been baptized Catholic or received into the Catholic Church:

Yes, your marriage would be recognized.

Eric
