On another forum someone is asking for the Catholic Church’s view on Protestant-Protestant marriages. Does someone have source material from an encyclical or council on this? I didn’t see anything in Canon Law.

Can. 11 Merely ecclesiastical laws bind those who have been baptized in the Catholic Church or received into it, possess the efficient use of reason, and, unless the law expressly provides otherwise, have completed seven years of age.
Can. 1055 §1. The matrimonial covenant, by which a man and a woman establish between themselves a partnership of the whole of life and which is ordered by its nature to the good of the spouses and the procreation and education of offspring, has been raised by Christ the Lord to the dignity of a sacrament between the baptized.
§2. For this reason, a valid matrimonial contract cannot exist between the baptized without it being by that fact a sacrament.
Translation: Protestants are only bound by divine law, not ecclesiastical disciplinary rules, in forming marriage. In effect, they get an automatic dispensation from every rule that can be dispensed. A valid marriage between two Protestants is a sacrament.

If one, or both, have not been baptized it is not a sacrament, but is a valid natural marriage.Validly baptized Protestants.
