Yes- That is why we have confession. You can go at any time confess your sins and be forgiven. It doesn’t matter what you have done.

God forgives because his penchant for mercy and grace is much greater than our ability to offend him. If not he would have never sent his son Jesus Christ to die for us. There is we can do that is greater than the love shown in Jesus - so GO!

I would suspect however that if this person is having some guilt or feelings of unworthiness that is keeping them from confession and communion - they might want to meet with and talk with the priest more extensively. It isn’t because that will make God "really" forgive them. But the priest can probably offer some reassurance of forgiveness and the peace of God’s love for them.

God’s love is more than we can ever know. So I would encourage this person to seek out confession and guidance from the priest. Remember we are only human - God is God and he can and will forgive us.

The doubt is just doubt. We don’t understand, we just need to seek God. Remember too that Paul tells us that in our baptism we are eternally linked to the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

God has given that to us and loves us enough to unite us to Christ forever, so that we might live with him. If he would do all that, he isn't going to turn our back on us because we are sinners.

Then the second marriage never occurred, in the eyes of the Church, and so ... you can, indeed, go avail yourself of the Sacrament of Reconciliation (after all, you can *always* do that); and then, assuming that you have made a sincere confession and accomplished the assigned penance, you would certainly not be blocked on that account from Communion (although conceivably you could be by some other mortal sin that you had not expiated). But keep in mind that you are, in the eyes of the Church, still married to the first wife, and sexual relations with some other woman after that confession would constitute adultery. But you might be safest to consult with a priest before your confession, just to be sure that I am giving you the straight dope.

Not until these marriages are annulled. I had two suggestions about what to do about my marriage, divorce and remarriage. I was married and divorced over back in the 1980s.

He was not Catholic and I am. After the divorce, I spoke to several priests in different parishes and they all told me, the marriage had to be annulled before I could receive any of the Sacraments. It is in the bible that once a person is married, they are married in the eyes of God forever.

When I decided to remarry, I had to have the first marriage annulled in order to be in good standing with the Church since I was still considered to be married to my first husband. By the words in the Bible both of us were living in adultery. This was a long drawn out process but once it was resolved, my new husband and I had our vows renewed in the Catholic Church even though my current husband was not Catholic.

Since Reconciliation is a Sacrament, I could not go confess and be done with the whole situation. While waiting on the annulment to be finalized, I spoke to a Monsignor who had helped my father many, many years ago with an annulment and he had a much more liberal idea on this matter. He told me if I had good reason for the divorce, (which I did), I felt at peace with decision I made to divorce my first husband and I went to Confession, I could just go back to the Church without going through the annulment process.

I couldn’t believe what he was saying. I had spent so many hours filling out forms about my personal life before, during, and after the first marriage. I had to find witnesses, etc.Now this Monsignor is telling me if I had confessed to God, I was good to go, no paperwork, no explanations to my parish, "just go back to church", as he told me.

I hate to say this but the Catholic Church is a bit wishy-washy on their rules and regulations. I find so much of what goes on are man-made laws of the Church and now from the word of God. I have often thought of looking for a different group to congregate with but am waiting for my daughter to have her Confirmation this year.

I believe in a lot of what I’ve been taught but their are issues I can’t seem to understand or agree with. I sometimes feel like a hypocrite and I don’t like that feeling. Sorry, I seem to have gotten off the subject.
