Rumor has it that there will be no more money involved, regardless of ability to pay or not. And it also looks like procedures and expectations will be very much simplified.
Got to remember that Pope Francis is getting ready to come to America later in the month. The most requests for annulments come from America.
This simplification and removal of the financial burden brings the Roman Catholic Church more in line with the long-time practice of the Eastern Orthodox Churches (often described incorrectly on this forum).
