Violence and Mental Illness

Just because someone who commits a terrible crime has a “mental problem” does not mean it is a treatable psychiatric illness.

Pope Francis Announces Measures to Simplify Marriage Annulments

Under the new rules, intended to streamline a process long criticized as too cumbersome, only one judgment, instead of two, will be required.

"“These reforms say, ‘If you think a marriage is invalid, don’t let the procedure frighten you away,’ ” John Thavis, an author and Vatican expert, said in an interview."

As far as a Pope can push without a schism.

Sooner is better.  As soon as you can is best.
