That's an interesting question. I've no idea, why do you ask?

No is the short answer.

Marriage conducted outside the church is generally considered not faith marriage by the church and you get one shot at a faith marriage by the church.

So are Jewish people married in a synagogue regarded as unmarried in the eyes of the church?

No. Mrs OG and I had a civil ceremony. Her parents are devout Catholics. That's why I ask.

An honest man need never fear a set up. Veritas vos liberabit.
