| Summary: | A young couple (neither married before) have entered into a parish OCIA process. The man was baptized as a Catholic in infancy. However, the Catholic parent died soon after that and he was raised by his Protestant mother. When he was a young teenager, he was rebaptized in the Baptist Church. At that time he had no knowledge of his Catholic baptism. His wife was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints and was baptized in that denomination. Both are now seeking to enter the Catholic Church. Was the husband bound by the Catholic form of marriage? Should the marriage be convalidated? He only recently became aware that he was baptized as a Catholic. Should the wife be baptized or received into full communion with the Catholic Church? |
