Hmmmm. If he never actually received the annulment, he is still married to his first wife in the Church's eyes. Hence the civil ceremony, something two supposedly devout Catholics would NEVER do unless they had no choice.
To add insult to injury, however, they both persist in receiving Holy Communion when they are, according to the Church, living in sin.
These "people" disgust me!
Ah, that brings to light some (not surprising) things, thanks for clarifying them.
Their mockery of God and the sacrament of marriage is astounding.
