That's what I always thought that if they weren't Catholic and the marriage was not in a Catholic church, then the marriage is not recognized. I told the priest that, and he still said he might need to get an annulment. That doesn't make any sense at all. But at least I know the facts for sure and maybe the preist just has to make sure my fiance is divorced by seeing his divorce papers. Also, I thought if a couple has children, that an annulment can't be done anyway.
