Nonsense!
A “Decree of Nullity” does NOT create an invalid marriage, it only recognizes that said marriage was and is invalid.
You obviously do not understand the process.
There are MANY authoritative Church leaders who have talked at length about the exceptions involved.

And, it is illogical to say that “Marriage is Public therefore -—” at all on this issue. It is an ignorant, contradictory statement in that:

ANNULMENT even if the formal, External Forum is used, is PRIVATE!

Nobody gets to know the results without the consent of those involved.

So, what does all your pointless busy-body nonsense mean?

It means that you, more than likely, have violated a Commandment against others if you have judged them on this issue.

YOU HAVE NO CLUE WHAT THE FACTS IN ANY CASE MIGHT BE!

Maybe they used the “Internal Forum” or the Conscience provisions in Church teaching.

Maybe they instead, or ALSO, eventually sought a formal, External Forum Decree of Nullity.

You do not know. You do not deserve to know. There is something wrong with you if you think it is your place to know such things, or to judge such matters.

There are MANY authoritative Church leaders who have talked at length about the exceptions involved. They can talk all they want, but at the end of the day, the only official, authoritive teaching is that of the Magisterium.

"By the Magisterium we mean the teaching office of the Church. It consists of the Pope and Bishops. Christ promised to protect the teaching of the Church : "He who hears you, hears me; he who rejects your rejects me, he who rejects me, rejects Him who sent me" (Luke 10. 16)."

7. The mistaken conviction of a divorced and remarried person that he may receive Holy Communion normally presupposes that personal conscience is considered in the final analysis to be able, on the basis of one's own convictions(15), to come to a decision about the existence or absence of a previous marriage and the value of the new union. However, such a position is inadmissable(16). Marriage, in fact, because it is both the image of the spousal relationship between Christ and his Church as well as the fundamental core and an important factor in the life of civil society, is essentially a public reality.
