'kag1982'---what some arch/dioceses have done is drop the fees associated with the annulment process.  Some places charge NOTHING for the process.  That's a nice part of it.  But-----


People are still shocked that at their first application a few questions are asked.  "Oh, this isn't bad," they say.  THEN comes the 'book'
[questions are in a hefty format that looks like a book], with all the specific questions about their sexual behavior before and during marriage [and afterward].  People almost turn green looking at it.


So, I don't believe that the actual process is any better.  It's just that the financial cost [in some dioceses] isn't there anymore.
