For my wife’s father to get a RC annulment to be married to another women he had to declare his children were bastards....
I think this is one area the CC can move into the 21 st. century ....
That is absolutely not true. The civil marriage is what makes the children legitimate. Anulling a Catholic marriage has absolutely no effect on the children. This is a common misconception but is not reality.

That’s just not true. The Church is explicit that the children of a union that ended in divorce and annulment are legitimate. This is because the Church presumes the couple intended to marry in good faith, and therefore, are not guilty of the sin of fornication, even though there was no true marriage at all.

Nope. Wrong. False. Try again.
“For my wife’s father to get a RC annulment to be married to another women he had to declare his children were bastards....”
Total protestant disinformation coming from someone who knows nothing of the Catholic Church or he would have never said it.
I just love it when folks repeat garbage because the just “know” it has to be true - never mind googling Catholic annulment and actually reading about it.
Total BS.
