So what would be the thinking on an Episcopalian husband and wife married in the Catholic Church, she raised Roman Catholic, and both lookin to Rome in light of the Episcopalians having gone nuts. Any special dispensations, recognition of original marriage, extent of RCIA program? Clergy responses welcome in advance of any local initiative to pursue this idea?
Again I’ll say I am not an expert but if they were married in the Catholic Church then the marriage is of course valid. If she was confirmed as a Catholic then she would need no RCIA. He would need only a brief RCIA to cover the points he needs to know about Catholicism.
The problem might come about because many parishes have a one size fits all RCIA program. I am a cradle Catholic and I attended the full RCIA program a few years ago just as a “refresher”. Doing the whole program would be worthwhile.
