[Mrs. Don-o]

Pope Francis' last Motu Proprio (2015) said it should be -$0- -- gratis --- for the low income. Most dioceses in the USA already had sliding scales depending on ability to pay.

Since you didn't mind citing the cost of your annulment, then --- not to pry, and a ballpark figure would suffice--- just for comparison's sake, how much did your divorce cost?

[Bringbackthedraft]

The cost of the uncontested divorce was under $500. (back in 73, which would mean in today’s money about 1500-2500?) It would have been a deal at any price, I would have paid even more.
