Is the Catholic position a "take it or leave it" kind?

RE: Is the Catholic position a "take it or leave it" kind?
There are large (VERY large) variations in Catholic marriage annulments from country to country. IIRC, there are many times more in the US than in some other countries, and also, whether or not an annulment is even possible if children are involved varies as you go.

It's my impression the church does NOT advertise these regional disparities. Presumably the intensity of fealty to God's edicts, strictures, covenants, rules, commandments, and decrees is supposed to be the same everywhere, and calling attention to the discrepancies is frowned upon.


addenda: I should have said annulment rate, sorry,
