Abstract

On January 29, 2021, on the solemn inauguration of the next Judicial Year of the Roman Rota, Pope Francis received in audience the judges and other employees of this Apostolic Tribunal. The Pope appealed to the judges not to forget that the integral good of the person requires them not to remain indifferent in the face of the unpleasant consequences that may be caused by a sentence on nullity of marriage. The Holy Father asks: What will happen to the children and the spouse who does not accept the nullity of the marriage? It is very urgent that bishops, judges, parish priests and other pastors do their best to help abandoned spouses and their children.

At the end of the speech, Francis expressed his appreciation for the work of the Roman Rota and thanked the retiring dean for sacrifice of the service.
