Lack of compassion AND ridiculous grounds for denial: “grounds for annulment” doesn’t mean the marriage is void, just voidable.

Lack of compassion AND ridiculous grounds for denial: “grounds for annulment” doesn’t mean the marriage is void, just voidable. Fortunately the Church is not guided by emotion, but by the Holy Spirit in all things.
One of prerequisites for a valid marraige is the ability to attempt to have children, because one of the reasons for marriage is the having of children.
Yes this couple can adopt and can still receive the other sacraments but Church law is Church law.

Lack of compassion AND ridiculous grounds for denial If you cannot consummate the marriage, don't get married in a Catholic church. How hard is that to understand?
