INDIANA---The Catholic Archdiocese of Indianapolis is eliminating fees for marriage annulments, a step that follows comments by Pope Francis that the church should make it easier for some divorced Catholics to remarry. Archbishop Joseph Tobin says those seeking to have a previous marriage declared null had been asking to pay $675 to help cover administrative costs. The Fort Wayne-South Bend Catholic diocese and others around the country also have eliminated such fees. The Indianapolis archdiocese includes some 230,000 Catholics in central and southern Indiana.
