In a nutshell, the new rules, which went into effect Dec. 8, 2015, drop the automatic appeal previously required after a decision on nullity had been reached, and place a stronger emphasis on local bishops, allowing them to make their own judgements on obvious cases of marriage nullity.
False mercy at the expense of Truth and Justice.

Its actually not that bad of a change, because there’s still a process of appeal if either the respondent or petitioner dispute the decision.

Is there anything which the Church says or does which is
not "eminently pastoral"?
Dogma, doctrine, discipline, canon law.....all the things which Francis appears to hate.......they're all "eminently pastoral", aren't they? They exist for a reason; to guide us along the road to salvation.
If that isn't "eminently pastoral", what is?
