Pope Francis reforms the process for marital nullity cases

The news media have been carrying the story of the documents issued by Pope Francis today. The Pope issued two Apostolic Letters by which he introduced reforms to the legal structures of the Church, which deal with questions of marital nullity. The secular media often fail to understand issues of this kind correctly, so I thought it might be helpful to provide a link to this concise analysis. I am not a canon lawyer, but this appears to be pretty reliable. It is certainly more realistic that what you are likely to hear on the radio or TV news!
