Hi, guys —
If a Catholic is currently married from
a civil ceremony, can they still receive
the sacrament of Penance?

Hi, Anonymous —
Yes, but the Catholic must:
- include that in [his|her] Confession
- repent of it
- intend to rectify the situation,
and
- practice continency until the
true marriage takes place.
