An Unbaptized Spouse and the Sacraments

Question:

May a Catholic receive the sacraments if the person’s spouse is not baptized but the marriage has been convalidated and dispensation granted?

Answer:

If a Catholic is in a valid marriage, then he or she can certainly receive the sacraments. Whether someone’s spouse is baptized or not has no bearing on a Catholic’s ability to receive the sacraments.
