VATICAN CITY -- Pope Francis has released a new streamlined procedures for annulling marriages after he and thousands of Catholics complained that the church's current system is cumbersome, costly and often unfair.
The Pope release the new rules Tuesday after a Vatican-appointed commission of canon lawyers spent the past year studying ways to simplify the process while safeguarding the principle of the indissolubility of marriage, the Vatican said, cbsnews.com reports.
Catholic doctrine does not recognize divorce, and annulment which is the only process, can take ages to be through. The new rules means decision can now be fast-tracked and automatic appeals has been ditched to quicken the process.
What this means, is that Roman Catholic living in sin all along can now rejoice in the Church.
Praise the Lord!
