Hi, guys —
I was married as a young Jewish woman in the
Synagogue and went through a divorce after
several years. I converted to Catholicism
and would like to marry a Catholic widower
in the Catholic faith.
- In my situation, is it possible to marry
in the Catholic Church?

Hi, Diane —
Yes, under one of (perhaps) two conditions:
- if your previous union is examined
and found to be invalid for some
reason:
- the concept of marriage might
have be defective
- one of the couples might
have had a faulty intention
regarding:
- children
or
- the permanency
of marriage or
- one of them might have lacked
full consent or discretion
- if you receive the Pauline privilege,
which applies when one party of
a previous union becomes Christian;
but you would have to talk to
your pastor about that.
