I hope that Divorced Catholic Moms will be a source of information regarding divorce and annulment as they pertain to the Catholic church. There is so much mis-information out there!

I also hope this will be a place for divorced Catholics (or those who are separated) to come for comfort, support and motivation.

And, of course, I intend to also offer information and support regarding raising our children Catholic. Not an easy thing even under the best of circumstances.

Please contact me and let me know what questions/concerns you have. If I don’t have the answers, I’ll find them.

Also, please subscribe to this blog so you’ll know when new posts have been added. Then come and leave your comments. Only in this way can we build a community of support.

Divorce is hard! Let’s help each other through it AND help each other to come out the other end stronger in faith (and in every other way, too!).

May God bless you and bring you peace.

I am curious, if a Catholic woman and Catholic man are married outside of the church, if they divorce, can she re-marry in the church and still receive communion?

Thanks

Phil,
It is possible for either of them to remarry inside the church (and be free to receive communion after remarriage in the church) but they first must contact the Tribunal in their Diocese and follow the required steps. From the limited amount I know about these things, I think what is needed in that case is called a “Lack of Form.” I usually suggest speaking with your parish priest or pastor first, however, I’ve heard of erroneous info being given out in these instances, which is why I suggest calling the Tribunal to get information.

I hope that helps.
