Dear Friend,
Yes, You are right. You will need an annulment but
so will your current wife.
Then you have the issue of being married outside
the Church. You will need to have it blessed (Often
there is no need for a remarriage but
a simple blessing) within the Church for it to
be acknowledged as lawful. If you are practicing
as a Catholic you are technically in sin and shouldn't
be going to receive Communion until this is resolved.
I would advise meeting with your priest and obtaining
the right paperwork to get this started; it could
take sometime to work it all out.
Peace,
Bob Kirby
