They were married in a Lutheran service (she is Lutheran, my brother-in-law, Catholic). The service was co-officiated (a woman Lutheran minister and a Catholic monsignor friend of the family). If I understand the reply above, the service itself was in violation of canon law. So, could there have been dispensation in this case?  They have baptised all four of their children in the Catholic church, but sadly, they are raising them Lutheran.  Another question, if the Church recognizes as valid (and thus, requiring annulment) marriages between non-Catholics performed by ministers in non-Catholic churches, why would a marriage between a Catholic and a non-Catholic performed outside the Catholic church (without the benefit of dispensation) be considered invalid? I am quite confused.   </p><p> </p><p>"The Catholic Church frames the Christian life as one in which you must exercise virtue—not because virtue saves you, but because that's the way God's grace gets manifested."
