[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi wife is Hindu[/quote]

His wife very carefully states she was raised Hindu. I haven’t seen anything about her current practices or beliefs, not that they should matter. [/quote]

If she hasn’t converted they are living in sin.[/quote]

This is not Catholic teaching. And you have no idea whether or not the pre-conversion marriage was subsequently convalidated (“blessed”) by the Church.  [/quote]

They are not married in the Catholic church and she has not converted and they have not received a dispensation to marry in the Catholic church, hence they are living in sin.

I don't care if they live in sin, i'm just saying they are.

Just like divorced and remarried people and gay people. Living in sin, according to the Catholic church.

No COMMUNION for you!

Vance married his wife in an “interfaith” ceremony in 2014.

He became a Catholic in 2019.

Because the marriage predated the conversion, no “dispensation” was required, nor could one have been granted or obtained.

The Church ordinarily recognizes the preexisting marriages of converts.

If Vance and his wife desire to they can obtain “convalidation” of their existing marriage. They may have done so. You have no idea whether or not they did.

They are not “living in sin.”

You do not know what you are talking about and should stop misrepresenting Catholic teaching and defaming people. [/quote]

Nope.

In the Catholic Church marriage is a sacrament.  The Catholic Church views marriages between non-Catholics or people of different faiths as valid and legitimate. However, marriage outside of the church by Catholics isn’t recognized by the Catholic Church because Catholics are bound to observe a certain form of marriage ritual in order for their marriage to be valid.

If you were previously married and converted you still need to receive the sacrament of marriage and if you do not you are living in sin.

It is important to realize that a convalidation is not merely a renewal of promises made previously but is a new act of consent by each spouse.

Canon law requires proper preparation for entering the Sacrament of Matrimony.
Individual dioceses establish the guidelines for this preparation.
A civilly married couple needs to learn all that the Sacrament of Matrimony entails.[/quote]
