Convalidation Question- Quick Question

[kjs55550]

Quick question that just crossed my mind…

I will be contacting my priest about going through the process of convalidation of my non-catholic marriage to a baptized Baptist. I didn’t request permission from the Bishop due to ignorance. Does my wife need to be Catholic in order to be approved for convalidation? Or can my marriage still be approved for convalidation as she is a faithful protestant?

Does my wife need to be Catholic in order to be approved for convalidation?

No. Your wife does not have to convert in order for you to be validly married in the Church.

Or can my marriage still be approved for convalidation as she is a faithful protestant?

Yes.
