thus instilling in the mind of the faithful the idea that contraception might be subject to revision. Sinky--my analogy holds. Your objection is a smokescreen.
Inter alia, those who actually thought that the constant teaching of the Church would be derogated or abrogated consisted of only a very few activists--people who were and remain suspects. Charlie Curran is an excellent example.

And, why did it take Paul VI TWO YEARS to respond to the leak that the commission had recommended that the teaching BE changed?
The silence let the the horse out of the barn, so to speak.
