Technically, they don't need to have been married in a Catholic Church for the prior marriages to be recognized as valid by the Church. My fiancé needs to annul his first marriage for this reason.

I know two different sets of people who did this. Really sick in the head. I bet Pope Francis would say go!

She has no moral ground to stand on whatsoever. A wedding is about the beliefs and values of the couple (as believers or simply as law-abiding citizens). It's not about her. She sounds awful. Truly, what would it cost her to simply attend for her brother?

Oh then she's incorrect. The church cannot annul a wedding that didn't happen in the eyes of god.
Sounds like she's friends with her ex Sibling in law, or strongly dislikes the new one and she's grasping at straws.


OP again. Correction: they were married in the Church just not Carholic Church. Technically only Catholic Church requires annulment.

Pretty audacious of her to try to disguise her personal dislike and distaste as religious belief...

Yes she's technically right even though it's sad. I'm surprised a priest would marry them unless the original marriage was annulled within the church.

If she truly believes in God's authority she will know He is judge, not she. She just needs to attend, be well-mannered, and pray for them.

She's nuts 95% of Catholics aren't this restrictive. It's because of the divorce. Whoever was divorced is supposed to be disfellowshipped from the church and therefore can't remarry there.

Ultimately up to sister whether she attends. This isn't about religion and more about sister disliking fiancee and idea of her joining the family. I bet your sister turns out to be right about the whole thing. lol

As long as your sister isn't the one marrying your brother she's just being a bitch. Does she attend any non-Catholic weddings?

Jesus made it pretty clear: love others and trat them as you would have them treat you, and don't judge. Attend and pray for the health and happiness of the couple. May they see your live and compassion, and be inspired by it. May they see God's light shining in you.

Long story short. Brother is getting married second time, his fiancé for a third( I know). Catholic sister refuses to attend the wedding and won't let her kids either. Bride is historical and big drama. Is she right by catholic rules?
