=== Pontifical Commission for the Verification and Application of ''Mitis Iudex'' in the Churches of Italy ===
The Pontifical Commission for the Verification and Application of ''Mitis Iudex'' in the Churches of Italy directly support the Churches that are in Italy in receiving the reform of the canonical process for the cases of declaration of nullity of marriage, giving new impetus to the application of the motu proprio ''Mitis Iudex''. A declaration of nullity – often referred to as an "annulment" – is a ruling by a tribunal that a marriage did not meet the conditions required to make it valid according to Church law.

''Mitis Iudex Dominus Iesus'', issued in 2015, made changes to canon law intended to streamline the process by which Church tribunals assess requests for declarations of the nullity of marriages. The text also emphasized the local bishop's role in the process.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Pillar |first=The |title=Pope Francis wants to study Italian annulments.
