Marriage somehow invalid ?
I'm a cradle catholic inquiring back into Catholicism, one thing that I have learned few days ago and that raised for me many questions is the fact that my marriage is invalid because I was baptized Catholic and married outside of the Church.
Due to what is called lack of canonical form basically my marriage is for the Catholic Church non-existent. I understand the purpose of Canon Law but I don't understand the logic behind the fact that one former Catholic + one protestant/atheist etc. = invalid marriage, but if two protestants etc. marry outside of the Church, theirs is valid.
I ask here because on r/catholicism I would get standard answers such as : "ask to a priest" or "you have to convalidate or radical sanation", I would like answers from people that are a bit more critical or maybe that have been in the same situation
