Then why would the Vatican put a question like this on the survey?

Question 4f: Could a simplification of canonical practice in recognizing a declaration of nullity of the marriage bond provide a positive contribution to solving the problems of the persons involved? If yes, what form would it take?


This was transmitted to the synod of bishops, i.e., the people who exercise Magisterial authority.

But, again, why was the survey submitted in the first place? Whether meant for bishops only, all Catholics only, or the general public; it is a poll concerning faith and morals, topics only the Pope is infallible on.

P.S. Who's going to tally the votes and announce the results? Will the results lead to a change in doctrine?
