Oh, so you were considering dating a Catholic?
I was actually dating one at the time. That was the reason for the questions. But since we are no longer dating, the questions no longer have a purpose for me, as they don't apply.

In the late 60's a non-Catholic could be married to a Catholic in a Catholic church, but the couple had to agree to raise the children Catholic and they had to attend Pre Cana(?) meetings for a few weeks beforehand.
If the non-Catholic had been divorced, though, there was only a hang up if that person had been baptized, even at birth, by any denomiation.
Again, like Heaven said, it might be differenent in different dioceses (or even with different priests) -- some are/were known to be much more liberal than others (some were good with presenting "loopholes")
Maybe the US Church is a lot less strict than the "Old Country"-style Irish Catholic Church. 
LOL, I came to this thread looking for your Nicene Creed, Heaven  I'd thought of something I wanted to comment about and now I forget

Kjak- I would quote you but my net connection isn't very good so here is my reply.
Your questions on this thread applied to me when I did a search and that is why I responded.
Had your title suggested 'dating a catholic' I may/ may not have responded.
I do find the thread interesting however as the responses show.

married a Catholic and we were not allowed to be married in a Catholic church.
The word here is IN the Catholic church.
They can marry in any place other than the sancuary.

Ummmm, nope -- full service. AND also in the sanctuary, right in front of the alter, "co-hosted" by a Jewish Rabbi ...but Connecticut might be more "liberal".

Yep, I've seen that too, also a non-denominational minister. I think the Irish dioceses are considered the most conservative in the world, now that I think about it.
(BTW, the Nicene Creed's in the 'license to sin' thread)

Also, being married to a Catholic, my children did not
have to be raised in the Catholic faith.

Very 1950's...doesn't matter if you are marrying a Protestant or a Shinto, you are married in front of the altar.
If the non-Catholic had been divorced, though, there was only a hang up if that person had been baptized, even at birth, by any denomiation.
Catholics and most Protestants recognize eachother's baptisms. It doesn't matter if a baby was baptized in a Catholic or an Episcopal, etc church. What matters going forward are the other sacraments. Furthermore, even if you were to marry someone who was divorced, but never baptized in any religion, there are still hurdles you must address. In all likelihood you may need some type of dispensation to marry. Every diocese is different. In New York and Virginia, you don't need a full anullment if the marriage was performed by a secular authority like a Justice of the Peace; however, you do need an annulment for that type of marriage in Connecticut.
Also, being married to a Catholic, my children did not
have to be raised in the Catholic faith.
I'll bet you weren't married in his church, you were married in yours.

No problem here  marriage yuk
A Catholic and a non-Catholic can be married in the Catholic Church. A priest can guide you through the preparation and requirements, which include receiving the permission of your bishop (usually routinely granted) and fulfilling certain other special conditions.
The Code of Canon Law, the law of the Catholic Church (Latin Rite), lists these three special conditions:
"Canon 1125 ...1) the Catholic party is to declare that he or she is prepared to remove dangers of defecting from the faith, and is to make a sincere promise to do all in his or her power in order that all the children be baptized and brought up in the Catholic Church;
"2) the other party is to be informed in good time of these promises to be made by the Catholic party, so that it is certain that he or she is truly aware of the promise and of the obligation of the Catholic party..."
"3) both parties are to be instructed about the purposes and essential properties of marriage, which are not to be excluded by either contractant."
seems is depends on where you live seems odd that a religion varies so much 
Q. If my partner (who is not Catholic) and I get married in a Catholic Church, would we be required to bring up our children in the Catholic faith?
A. The Catholic partner in the marriage would be asked to make a declaration which focuses on the ‘unity of partnership’ which invites the Catholic partner to do all they can within that unity to bring up the children as Catholic. No such demand is made of the partner who is not Catholic.
Q. As a non-Catholic, if I get married in a Catholic church will there be a requirement on me to become a Catholic or attend church services?
A. There is no requirement on you in either of these matters.
Q. My partner was married in a registry office and is divorced. Is it possible for us to get married in a Catholic Church?
A. If your partner is a Catholic, it is possible but if your partner is not a Catholic, it is not possible because the Church recognises marriages of those other than Catholics made in registry offices.

its only a problem here if the non Catholic is divorced

I have attended countless weddings between Catholics and non-Catholics that were not only held within the walls of the Catholic church, but the ministers, rabbis and non-Catholic priests were con-celebrants.
Are you sure there weren't other issues here?

The issues are as I previously stated- My husband was a Catholic and not allowed to marry a non Catholic in a Catholic Church.
What other issues did you expect?
Our marriage took place outside The Catholic Church.

The Catholic Church in the US may do that, but The Catholic Church in Wales will NOT marry a Catholic and Non Catholic.
The same rules still apply currently in Ireland and I have checked this within the last week with a Catholic friend in Ireland.
I suppose there could be Churches who may make exceptions? I don't know. BUT the general rule is no. I would class the general rule as the ruling of the Pope?

Dispensations
These are some of the common dispensations that are applied for. In every case, talk to your parish priest who will find out which you may need and apply for them.
1. "Permission for Mixed Marriage" (Canon 1126) This is needed if a Catholic wishes to marry a baptised non-Catholic Christian. In England and Wales, it can be granted by the parish priest.
2. "Dispensation from Disparity of Cult" (Canon 1085-6) This is needed if a Catholic wishes to marry someone who is not baptised. It is granted by the local bishop.
3. "Dispensation from Canonical Form" (Canon 1127) This is needed if a Catholic wishes to marry according to a non-Catholic rite and/or in a non-Catholic Church. It is granted by the local bishop but it is the local Bishops Conference that establishes norms by which this dispensation is granted in a proper way. In England and Wales, the dispensation is fairly common but in other countries it may not be so common.

(a) Permission to marry a baptised member of another Christian Church.
This is obtained from the bishop through the local parish priest. The priest will want to see the couple beforehand. Roman Catholic Canon Law (Canon 1125) requires him to ensure:
