[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Were you guys married in the church?  That may be an issue with getting the kids baptized - I don't know, but I'm guessing it could be.  In your shoes I would register with your parish, and set up an appointment to sit down and talk about it with the priest.  Pick the one who seems the warmest :).  Priests are people too - they'll vary in their approach.[/quote]

A priest can deal with a non-Catholic church marriage.  I had a Methodist friend who married her Catholic DH in an Episcopal Church and they went through a small Catholic ceremony with the priest and just two witnesses present when she was 8 months pregnant.  She also was the motivating force and converted to Catholicism in the same small ceremony.  I was both her sponsor and her witness.  [/quote]

That's so offensive. You know she had to do that because they didn't consider her married before, right? Technically you're not even supposed to have sex with your spouse while you're planning a convalidation because they don't believe you're married. I can't believe women go through with that sham.

Just...so offensive.[/quote]

The flip side of this is that my very-Catholic father thinks divorce is a sin and remarriage is adultery; and yet his marriage to his current wife (he's her 3rd husband) is sinless because the first two marriages were not in the Church and were prior to her conversion ... [/quote]
