With the promulgation of the motu proprio Mitis iudex Dominus Iesus
for the Latin Church and the motu proprio Mitis et misericors Iesus
for the Eastern Catholic Churches, both dated August 15, 2015, Pope
Francis addressed the calls during the Third Extraordinary General
Assembly of the Synod of Bishops (October 5-19, 2014) for a
simplified procedure for the declaration of the nullity of
marriages. Pope Francis introduced a briefer process to be
conducted by the diocesan bishop and he simplified the current
ordinary nullity process. The new procedural norms went into effect
on December 8, 2015. New legislation always challenges first and
foremost the practitioner: how is the new legislation to be
understood and applied? Immediately after the new law was made
public, a number of articles on this new legislation were published
in The Jurist. The School of Canon Law of The Catholic University
of America organized a March 2016 Workshop on the very topic of
this important procedural reform. These articles are now brought
together in one volume to assist those who work with these norms in
the various tribunals dealing with marriage cases. It is hoped that
this volume will be of great service to all those who serve the
people of God in the ministry of justice, and that these
contributions will truly be a help in understanding and applying
the new norms.
