Regarding the baptism of the first husband of Mrs. Ivana Trump (RIP), which is relevant for the analysis, it matters if it happened or not, but also, does it matter when did it happen ? For example, if it happened before their marriage ? Or at any point on his life ? I can't remember the last name of the ski instructor, so forgive me …
Regarding the baptism of the first husband of Mrs. Ivana Trump (RIP), which is relevant for the analysis, it matters if it happened or not, but also, does it matter when did it happen ? For example, if it happened before their marriage ? Or at any point on his life ? I can't remember the last name of the ski instructor, so forgive me for the references. But what about if he was baptized later in life ? Doesn't that change the status of his marriage ?
The question is whether he was a baptized Catholic at any time prior to the attempt at marriage; in that case it would trivially be a failed attempt because of not following rules that are particular to Catholics; if neither party was Catholic then those rules do not apply. I hear on the news that Ivana herself was "secretly raised Catholic", however, which (if it included baptism) would mean that both her attempted marriage to the ski instructor *and* *also* her subsequent attempted marriage to Donald do not count since neither attempt followed those rules; since Donald is not a Catholic that means his second attempted marriage does count and he is not an eligible bachelor. This plot has got more twists than an Agatha Christie murder mystery.

If I'm not mistaken, baptism would affect whether or not the marriage was a sacramental one, but not necessarily its validity.
