My great-great grandfather was widowed at age 53 in 1886.  He had 11 children and was a farmer.  He married a spinster less than a year later and they had 3 children.  She raised all 14 kids and they remained married til her death in 1922.  The age difference was 20 years exactly.  Someone explain using Catholic moral theology why this is wrong?
It is not wrong.  Who told you it is wrong?

There's nothing wrong, in itself, with even a large age gap between spouses. In living memory of my own ancestry there is a couple with a 27 year gap. But I think one of the key reasons that you will not find a lot of support for something like that to become the norm is, ironically enough in our less-than-godly-West, because of the lingering effect of the ideal of Christian marriage on society. While the primary end of Marriage is the begetting and raising of children, the fact that one is limited to one spouse creates, and even requires, a certain moral expectation of parity betwixt the two.

 people have no issue with Elvis Presley and Priscilla Beaulieu having a 10 yr gap (14 and 24) because Elvis 'respected' her and she didn't want sex before marriage so he wasn't a 'groomer'.

The OP obviously hasn't read the book written by Priscilla.  He wasn't grooming her... he sɛҳuąƖly teased her mercilessly.  Neither were innocent or moral (by her own admission:  this was not a judgement.)
Sorry for derailing.
