True. I’d imagine Petrine privilege was suggested for a reason but it may be worth asking.

I think it means she would need an annulment.

I am not sure you need an annulment if you marry an unbaptized person.

No, if she and her first husband were unbaptized when they married and then they divorce and she subsequently is baptized, her natural marriage is dissolved, in favor of the faith, by her marriage in the Catholic church.

Just one change, the natural marriage MAY BE dissolved.
They still have the option of a full case before the Tribunal.

But the statement was that she needed an annulment regardless, which isn’t the case with Petrine or Pauline privilege.Phemie:

If I were you, able to choose my Baptismal day, I would just pick a day of a saint I truly like (and get his/her protection).

Sorry I had to leave the forum.
Yes, to my understanding, because my wife’s former spouse was baptized when born, it makes a Pauline Privilege not possible. So I guess TheLitteLady is correct in that it now becomes a Petrine Privilege?
I understand from our Priest there is more paperwork coming from our diocese, for us to fill out to continue to try and get this resolved. I’m thinking that’s the 3-4 month waiting period from Rome he spoke of previously?

I’d plan for longer and hope for the 3-4 month delay.
I have a friend to whom the bishop suggested the Petrine privilege as a possibility should he decide to be baptized. Rather than rush Baptism, my friend opted to petition for a decree of nullity, which he quickly obtained once our pastor finally got around to interviewing witnesses and submitting the results to the Tribunal.

Yes, my wife has a cousin who it took over two years to get hers done and able to get baptized and join the faith. I’ve had a few of the parishioners tell me stories of a couple that it took four years to complete theirs. So, at this point my expectations are pretty low.

Canonically, you can be baptized by anyone, anytime, anywhere.
Are you already not baptized as a Baptist? I think they don’t believe in infant baptism, but I could be wrong.
If you have been baptized, and have a certificate of baptism, you don’t need another baptism. During Easter Vigil, they should skip baptism for you, but they could give you a conditional baptism for symbolic reasons. This baptism will simply not do anything if you already be baptized because baptism gives you an indelible mark that you can’t receive a second time.

Thank you for your reply rightness. No, neither I nor my wife have ever been baptized.
