Can divorced people join the Catholic Church?

[Topaz585]

I have had numerous marriages and divorces and am currently not married. I understand that in order to remarry in the Catholic church I would have to have my previous marriages all annulled, which I’m unwilling to do.

At this point in my life (early 50’s), I’m not interested in marrying again and I AM interested in joining the Catholic church.

Is it possible to join the church and participate in communion if you’ve been divorced???
