The question

Can a Mormon marry a Catholic to rectify their mistake of having had a child before marriage?

The answer

Marrying a Catholic to a non-Catholic is the Catholic Church's jurisdiction which has unfortunately changed throughout the years and is now accommodating mixed marriages. We, the Coptic Orthodox Church do not approve nor allow it.
