“There were tragic problems that were inherent to the marriage,” said Terry. “According to Catholic doctrine as it has been taught to me, those problems made it an invalid sacrament.”

Which implies that there was an annulment of his first marriage.

Probably correct. How convenient for Terry. I wonder if the annulment means that his other adulteries were not really adulteries either, and that his thefts, lies, deceptions, misrepresentations, perjury, and evasion of (prior) church discipline in failing to provide for his first wife and children didn't really happen either, because "it was an invalid sacrament". http://www.operationsaveamerica.org/articles/articles/please-remove-randalls-feeding-tube.htm

Cordially,

"If" there was any substance to those allegations, that's what the Sacrament of Penance is for. I'm not able to reconcile all this supposed "bad behavior" in your gossip-laden link with a person who, along with his wife, joins the Catholic Church. The two sets of behavior are mutually contradictory unless there exists a genuine "change of heart".
