I am specifically talking about streamlining the process. It can take years to get an annulment. That needs to change. And I think it will.

It can take years to get an annulment.

It can also be over in a matter of months. The real problem is on the front end with people who have no business getting married slipstreaming through the pre-Cana programs. But just think about it...

Each diocese has a tribunal that handles all the requests, if you spread the numbers out evenly it's like each tribunal handles one case per day... 50k successful declarations of nullity per year spread out over 150 tribunals. That's assuming no weekends off too I think, I'm just doing the numbers in my head. Considering all the prep that goes into the average wedding these days I'd like to hope that at least 8 hours can be spent determining whether the bond is sacramental or not.

For only a prepaid $50 more, you'll be able to supersize you annulment and get your second annulment free, at no extra charge. Just fill in the blanks and mail it in. How''s that for streamlining?
