A: Yes.
Catholics who are not members of the Anglican Rite Roman Catholic

Holy Matrimony. However, please note that ecclesiastical

jurisdiction. It is the responsibility of each person from a
jurisdiction outside the Anglican Rite Roman Catholic Church to
obtain any necessary permissions required by the jurisdiction of
which they are a member before the marriage rite is to
take place.
