RCIA annulment question

[Medievalthyme]

I’m going through RCIA, am unbaptized, have been married three times and my current husband was baptized Lutheran and was married previously. He is not interested in Catholicism. I need to have my previous two marriages annulled. My question is: is it a sin, while I am waiting for the two annulments and the (hopefully) blessing of my current marriage, for my husband and me to have sexual relations?

This is a question for your pastor and spiritual director, not for an internet forum.

You are going to get people who tell you different things. I urge you to speak to the Pastor at the parish and do what he says.

I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

You are living in a state of sin. No, you should not be having sex – doing so is committing a mortal sin, since in the eyes of the Church your ‘husband’ is married to his first wife.

For your current marriage to be convalidated, not only do you have to obtain annulments of your first two marriages, your husband must also have his marriage to his first wife annulled.

As the others have said, this is a question for your priest and RCIA director. Some on here can give you general information on the annulment process and the possible outcomes generally. For your specific situation you would need to speak to your tribunal advocate.

For your specific question regarding relations with your husband, that is a question for your priest.

Moderator, don’t you agree this thread can be closed before someone does some damage?

You will get various answers here, and they cannot all be right.

Talk to your priest.

You do not and cannot know that any of what you state is true because you do not know any facts of this case.

The OP needs to take advice from her pastor on this matter and no one else.

Thank you for your answer, it seems like the best course. I was hoping for something written down somewhere for my specific case but it doesn’t look like that is forthcoming so I will ask my advocate.
