I wasn't referring to those who had been illegitimately married in the Church

So, now the Catholic church is performing illegitimate marriages? Why?

Isn't it part of their responsibility to NOT do that?

I found it interesting he would refer to Priests who marry them them as “illegitimate”. But acccordinly to this that is what they are indeed doing.

Of course it is, but neither the priest, the participants, nor the process is error proof. In those rare cases where errors are made a remedy is required. That remedy is annulment. Per the tenets of Canon Law those should be extremely rare.

You are of course free to believe what ever you like and even free to say what ever you like, but rest assured when you lie or misrepresent the teachings of the Church you will be corrected.
