Kim,
In order for this non-Catholic to marry a Catholic,
the Church would have to determine whether their
prior marriages could be annulled. If either were
valid [and/or] sacramental, and there was no preexisting
reason which could allow the Church to grant an annulment,
no Catholic could marry that person without committing
adultery and being prohibited the sacraments.
With respect to the ability of the person to become
a Catholic, that is an entirely different story.
The person can seek to enter the Church but must
remain single unless the previous marriage(s) can
be annulled.
Finally, a Catholic cannot marry without a Catholic
ceremony and still remain in good standing with the
Church.
