Catholic? Divorced? Fiance is not Catholic?

Our main thing is that we wanted the religious ceremony but we wanted to have it on the beach, and you know the Catholic church wont allow you to get married any where but inside the church. So you know we had to settle for that.

This is misinformation commonly spread by unknowing non-Catholics. The Catholic Church is not a physical building.

I know what the Catholic chucrh is I have been raised Roman Catholic all my life. No I did not miss understand. When the priest at my parish told me that THEY WILL NOT MARRY ANY ONE ANY WHERE BUT INSIDE THE PHYSICAL CHURCH BUILDING I THINK I GOT THAT LOUD AND CLEAR. He said NO park, house, beach ect. Thats what I was told by a priest. Thank you.

Let's pick the key words in that article.....the biggest one is misspelled

seperate from the Roman Catholic Church.

ps & btw...my ex and I were married in a 'Catholic' church that turned out to be summat like this place mentioned....guess what? The actual Catholic Church did not consider us married. Yep, we had to do it all over again...Pre-Cana and everything....even after we were already married.

8 weeks of 'engagement encounters' with another married couple to discuss how we were going to deal with x,y,z 'after' we get married.

I was raised Catholic and have never known a Catholic wedding to not have Pre-Cana. Obviously a challenge if someone wants a Catholic wedding on a K-1, I would have thought.

Non-Catholics can get married in the church, but not with a full mass. I have never know a Roman Catholic wedding to take place anywhere but a church - I am sure it is not allowed.

I have also never heard of a Catholic sanctioned wedding not in the actual building of the church. In fact, that's why we went with the one church who would marry us elsewhere....which in turn clearly wasn't really Catholic to begin with, hahahahah.

ETA: I can feed someone a wafer, and pray as I pour some water on a baby's head, I can put some oil on a sickly person's forehead, etc...but it wouldn't make it any more Catholic than this church in the original post.
