VATICAN CITY — Pope Francis said the Church's marriage annulment process should be more efficient and perhaps even free of charge, and he decried any attempts to exploit it for profit.
“Some procedures are so long and so burdensome, they don't favor (justice), and people give up,” the pope said. “Mother Church should do justice and say: 'Yes, it's true, your marriage is null. No, your marriage is valid.' But justice means saying so. That way, they can move on without this doubt, this darkness in their soul.”
