I'm wondering if a person was married in civil ceremony I.e. as a member of no church at all at court, then divorced, would they then if they wanted to become RC would they need annulment to marry in the church, as what they had prior was more legality than done as sacrament? I'm asking as a non Catholic who really is just curious.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

If the person joined the Catholic Church after remarrying, there was be an assumption of a natural marriage bond. If the Catholic wanted a divorce, then an annulment would be needed, basically saying that the marriage was never valid. If the other party wanted a divorce, then the Pauline privilege could be used. This involves a non-baptized person who becomes baptized in marriage remarrying assuming their spouse left them. If said person was already baptized, the Petrine privilege could be invoked, which allows the Pope to dissolve said natural marriage in favor of a sacramental one.
