Question
I am a Catholic. Born and raised all my life in the Catholic church. I have received the sacraments of baptism, holy communion and confirmation. All in the Catholic church. My fiance is Episcopal. She has received the sacraments in the Episcopal church. If i chose to get married by a Episcopal minister would the Catholic church recognize my marriage?
No. If you married before a Protestant minister, you will by that act excommunicate yourself from the Catholic Church, as publicly you will be adhering to an heretical religion. You need to get some serious counsel from a traditional Catholic priest. If you do not have such a contact, see the list at www.traditio.com/nat.htm.
