ByFrancesD'emilio The Associated Press VATICANCITY PopeFrancis on Wednesday denounced the hardships Catholics can face when seeking mar- riage annulments, revealing he once fired an official who tried to charge thousands of dollars for one. Francis told participants at a Vatican course for of- ficials dealing with annul- ments that as bishop of Bue- nos Aires, he was dismayed to learn that some faithful needed to travel hundreds of miles and lose days of work to reach church tri- bunals. He also recalled sack- ing an unidentified church tribunal official, possibly a lawyer, who told someone: "Give me $10,000 and I'll take care" of the annulment process. "One must be careful that the procedures don't become a business," Fran- cis said. The Vatican teaches that matrimony is a sacrament and forbids divorce. Many Catholics wanting to end their marriages seek annul- ments, a church ruling their union was invalid and thus, essentially, never existed. Possible reasons include a spouse who never intended to be faithful or who was psychologically too imma- ture to understand the for- ever nature of marriage in the Catholic church. Annulments allow Cath- olics to marry again in the church. Francis said he was con- sidering requests, made at a recent Vatican meeting of bishops about families, to make annulments cost-free. Many dioceses customar- ily ask annulment petition- ers to pay hundreds of dol- lars to defray administra- tive costs, but some are now dropping fees, as a northern Indiana diocese started do- ing last month. Francis reiterated his re- solve to streamline annul- ment processes, which are sometimes "so long and so weighty," he said, that peo- ple become "discouraged." Divorced Catholics who remarry without annul- ments cannot receive Com- munion since the Vatican considers them as adulter- ers living in sin. Many such divorced Catholics are hop- ing the pontiff, who says he wants a merciful church, will relent and let them re- ceive Communion. HARDSHIPS Pope mulls removing marriage annulment charges ALESSANDRATARANTINO—THEASSOCIATEDPRESS A gust of wind blows Pope Francis' mantle during his weekly general audience in St. Peter's Square at the Vatican, Wednesday. By Virgile Ahissou The Associated Press COTONOU, BENIN With nearly 5,000 dead of Eb- ola in West Africa, the World Health Organiza- tion elected a new direc- tor Wednesday of its Af- rica regional office, which has been accused of bun- gling the response to the outbreak in its early stages. Matshidiso Moeti is a doctor from Botswana and a WHO veteran who stepped down as deputy re- gional director for Africa in March, around the time the crisis was announced. The results of the five- candidate election were made public at a meeting of the U.N. agency in Benin and came amid what is by far the worst outbreak of the dreaded disease ever seen. "I hope, with all the con- trol efforts that are now in place, the situation will have improved by the time I take office in February," Moeti told reporters. She said that the health systems in hard-hit Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea have been devastated and need to be rebuilt and that warning systems and mon- itoring capabilities must be improved ahead of any fu- ture Ebola outbreak. In an internal draft doc- ument obtained by The As- sociated Press last month, WHO accused its Africa of- fice of initially botching the response to Ebola, deriding many regional staff mem- bers as "politically motivated appointments." The report said WHO staff in Africa re- fused to help get visas for experts to fly to Guinea and compromised the contain- ment effort in other ways. The outgoing regional director, Dr. Luis Sambo of Angola, had already served two five-year terms and was ineligible to run again. He has declined numerous in- terview requests. In a report on lessons learned, released ahead of this week's meeting, the Africa office attributed the explosive spread of the le- thal virus to such factors as poor awareness and badly trained health workers. Aboubakar Sidiki Dia- kite, inspector general for Guinea's health ministry, welcomed the election as an opportunity for reform. "A change always brings new impetus," he told the AP in Paris this week. He said the new director would find "weaknesses" in the system that need to be remedied. Representatives of WHO's 47 African member countries voted by secret ballot for the director. In her campaign bro- chure, Moeti listed one of her priorities as building a responsive, effective WHO. Moeti previously held posts in Botswana's Health Minis- try and also led WHO's Ma- lawi office. In other developments, President Barack Obama asked Congress for $6.2 billion in emergency funds to fight Ebola in West Af- rica and strengthen U.S. de- fenses against the disease. In Sierra Leone, mean- while, where the epidemic is particularly bad and where treatment centers are ur- gently needed, one built by Britain finally opened out- side the capital Wednesday.
