You can get an annulment if the wife or husband isn't Catholic.

Right. It is all a little convoluted and I may not have it exactly right but... you'd think anullment would be more difficult if the marriage produced children since that would seem to make them "ill-legitimate" but that isn't the case. They are considered legitimate offspring even when there is an anullment. At least that is my understanding. However, without an anullment neither Kerry nor Teresa would have bene able to receive communion in the catholic church.

From the linked article:

"and they wed in a Catholic church upon his return in 1970. Both were 26."

But I didn't think you could wed in a Catholic church, unless you converted?

Only if they were not married in the Catholic church.
