I would like to ask if the Greek Orthodox Church would allow and recognize a 2nd marriage between a divorced Roman Catholic and another divorced Christian who is not catholic or greek orthodox? Would the two people be required to join the church? If not, would the divorced catholic be allowed to receive the sacrament of Hold Communion in either the Roman Catholic Church mass or the greek orthodox mass?

Good question. I know the Greek Orthodox Church will recognize marriage between one of its own and someone of a different faith without requiring that person to convert. However, I believe the non-Orthodox spouse must make a commitment to raise the children within the Orthodox Church.

As for marrying two people, neither of which are Greek Orthodox, I’m not sure. A priest at an Orthodox parish is really the best person to ask about this kind of thing.
