Pope Francis makes it easier for Catholics to remarry | |
(34 minutes later) | |
Pope Francis has unveiled reforms intended to make it easier for Roman Catholics to divorce and remarry within the Church. | |
The radical reforms allow access to procedures free of charge and fast track decisions, as well as removing automatic appeals. | |
In order to separate, Catholics must have their marriage annulled by showing it was flawed from the outset. | |
Until now the procedures have been seen as arcane, expensive and bureaucratic. |
