Does anyone have any good pre-vatican 2 theology books about how the church recognizes the validity of non-catholic marriages and mixed civil marriages between a catholic and a non-catholic?

I have to think you can find this in the old Code of Canon Law.

A civil wedding between a Catholic and a non-Catholic, baptised or not, is not a valid marriage. Unless the NO has changed that too!

what do you think about all these novus ordite heretics who think they are catholic but automatically excommunicated? Lets say one of them, who is a heretic but thinks they are catholic, marries a protestant?

I've heard so much conflicating information I want to see the true teaching. I've heard that if two baptized protestants are married its valid, but if two unbaptized protestants marry its invalid.???

These appear to be the relevant 1983 Code canons:

Quote

Can. 1059 Even if only one party is Catholic, the marriage of Catholics is governed not only by divine law but also by canon law, without prejudice to the competence of civil authority concerning the merely civil effects of the same marriage.

Can. 1060 Marriage possesses the favor of law; therefore, in a case of doubt, the validity of a marriage must be upheld until the contrary is proven.

So, it appears the NO assumes it's valid.
