bigmamano7	7/7/2009 5:41:22 PM Good luck on this one princess, Vicki Vicki
ctprincess	7/7/2009 5:50:27 PM Thanks...I think we will need it.....
catsmam76	7/7/2009 6:25:05 PM I was raised catholic and I don't think you will get them to grant an annulment and the stricter ones will not recognize a divorce. I know nothing of the Born Again church. You simply need to ask them and see where it leats. I would be sueprised if they wanted an annulment,as the Catholic chruch is known for their views. Luck to the two iof you.
pretty_moonpa	7/7/2009 6:43:38 PM I think a church annulment is only critical if you plan on getting married in a Catholic Church. As long as your both legally divorced I think you should be ok. He needs to check with his church Pastor. You said Born Again but you didnt mention a specific religion.
bklynbabi	7/7/2009 6:53:47 PM As far as I know in a Born again church it wud usually be up to the discretion of the Pastor.
chat_girl	7/7/2009 7:04:36 PM I am born again and as long as you are both christians there shouldn't be a problem... You are both legally divorced.. and you both love Jesus that's what really matters
jennyann71	7/7/2009 7:11:16 PM I am born again souther Baptist and as long as you both beleive in God and have asked for forgiveness I see no problem, Good Luck, and may you always be healthy and very happy.
chuckles32257	7/7/2009 7:58:04 PM I was once an ordained minister / missionary in the Church of God. I know of no protestant church that even recognizes the catholic doctrines. As long you are both "legally" single, I don't believe any church would refuse to marry you.
jtc57	7/7/2009 9:59:04 PM I am also Catholic Phyllis and I am not sure how the Born-Again is all done.Tom would have to check all into that.But I don't see why there should be a problem.
ctprincess	7/8/2009 1:16:24 AM Tom is a Baptist and I am a Roman Catholic. Yes, we both believe in Christ. Tom was a Catholic in his earlier years but then converted and became Born Again. I am unaware that Born Again doesn't mean anything but Baptist. Am I wrong here? He intends to talk to his pastor about it when the time is right. We have both been divorced for quite a long time and yes we are BOTH legally single.
ctprincess	7/8/2009 5:29:16 AM Even though Tom is out in the wilderness with his son......one just has to know that he is up on all the happenings here in blogsphere....He not only got a copy and paste of the blog but also on the wonderful responses that I have received also...tee hee Oh, yes...he does have internet access in the neverland too...plus he is using his cell phone....LOTS....many calls to me daily....(maybe about 12)... Can you tell he is missing me..and all our blogsphere friends??
catsmam76	7/8/2009 7:53:22 AM Hmmm,Tomcat the thoroughly modern Milly style boy scout,ummm I'm not sure what to make of thatthinking out loud again
ctprincess	7/8/2009 9:59:25 AM He's as big a boy scout as Tyler is.... Guess they will be him and Tyler soon...
jezlooking4u	7/8/2009 1:46:05 PM Only the Roman Catholic Church requires a full annulment if you want to marry again in the Catholic church. The Baptist church accepts civil divorces but requires( I think) that you believe that Jesus is your Lord and Savior. Being "born again" is just a term...confession of sin,repentance and then following the Lord with the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit to guide you. Go for it!! get engaged, get married, and enjoy life together as a "believing couple." Where two are united as one with the Lord to guide them, it is a strong bond...better then super-glue! My blessings and love!
irishlady855	7/8/2009 5:22:39 PM Ct. I am a born again Christian which is quite different from the Roman Catholic church. You are both considered single. You might just need to go through marriage counseling at your fiancees church, that is all that is required at my church. And yes, there are differences in Born Again Christians. Good Luck to you and your fiancee.
pretty_moonpa	7/8/2009 5:30:56 PM Anyone can be "born again" it simply means turning your life over to Christ. Being saved...........A Spiritual Rebirth if you will......
nmshortncute	7/9/2009 2:46:44 AM Some of us Catholics believe the Christ died for our sins and ask for forgiveness and to live as Christlike as possible and are "saved" from damnation, just as anyone who believes this. Born again are those who never believed, or left the belief and came back. As far as legals, you are legally married by law to the person you have received a marriage license for marriage to. Legal is the only one that counts for legal purposes.... as you could be liable as a polygamist. Once you have a license you can be married in any church, park, hot air balloon.... make sure each partner is legally available for marriage
ctprincess	7/10/2009 3:25:04 AM Shortncute...I am not too sure though what you mean.....are you saying that because I was married in a Catholic Church that the Baptist Church will not marry us as it would be considered polygamy? I am not sure that one denomination recognizes what has happened in another denomination. Had I been marrying in another Catholic Church I am 100% positive that you are correct. However this is Catholic vs Baptist and I am not sure that in the eyes of the Baptist Church my Catholic marriage is valid. Am I.. or ??
catsmam76	7/10/2009 12:14:53 PM You are and I honestly don't think you need to worry over this as I don't think you would have a problem even in a lot of todays Catholic parishes...
ctprincess	7/13/2009 6:14:45 AM Thanks Cats...Tom said that he thinks that to marry him in his church I may have to get baptized again in HIS church. He was going to talk to his pastor yesterday but the pastor was busy with other baptisms at the time. The conversations about our wedding have been pretty intense lately.
ctprincess	7/13/2009 6:18:59 AM part 2.....I spent some serious time yesterday with Tom and Mr. T. yesterday and if there were any apprehensions before they are completely gone now. Now here is the funny thing...Mr. T asked me to move in with him and dad... He also told me that his dad told him that he wants to marry me....so I guess Tomcat is quite the serious Lion in the family and wants a Lioness in his den... Mr. T played a "dating song" on his harmonica which really was the wedding march.
ctprincess	7/13/2009 6:20:45 AM part 3...Mr. T told Tomcat and Momcat that he "approves" the wedding... and wants to see it happen soon. So as I see it, I now have 2 sons and 1 daughter... ctp
python66	7/15/2009 8:02:54 PM A born again church will marry you they do not look at you getting married in a catholic church. And a born again church is not always Baptist, there are many different types of born again churches of different faiths. They usually want you to go for counseling first.
nmshortncute	7/16/2009 5:14:34 PM As long as neither party is still legally married to someone else, you can marry in a civil ceremony. Any minister can perform the ceremony. As far as the various churches, you can consult them, but bottom line is, don't be legally married to someone else (on paper) when remarrying. Best of luck to you!!!! And God Bless the union!!!
ctprincess	7/17/2009 4:25:35 AM Neither of us are legally married to anyone else. My civil divorce was finalized in the 80's and his was more than 7 years ago. So we are OK there. It is just that he asked me to marry him in HIS church and I agreed provided that HIS church didn't have a problem with my lack of Catholic Church annulment.
