to scrap their marriage vows should have easier and possibly free
access to Vatican courts.
"There is a concern for streamlining procedures and trials for the
sake of justice.
"Mother Church must deliver justice and say 'Yes it's true, your
marriage is void or no, your marriage is valid,''he added.
Francis stressed that there was need for all to see and be conscious
when spiritual and economic interests were linked, which he described
as ungodly.
He said Mother Church was so generous that it could deliver justice
for free, just like all souls had been justified by Jesus Christ for
free.
The Catholic Church does not allow divorce.
The only way out of a marriage while keeping with doctrine is to have
it declared void by Vatican judges but the process is currently
cumbersome and expensive.
Last month, deep divisions emerged at a Vatican summit known as the
synod on whether the church could drop a ban on remarried divorcees
taking the Holy Communion.
But most participants agreed on the need to streamline the handling of
marriage annulments.
