Yes, it is reasonable.

The book is a record of our agreements.

I'm not sure in the Catholic tradition if a later ecumenical council can modify what an earlier council had decided.

Our Book of Discipline can change EXCEPT in our constitution, articles of religion, and confession of faith.

Thanks.

>> I'm not sure in the Catholic tradition if a later ecumenical council can modify what an earlier council had decided.

If you're curious, the answer is no. Later councils must presume the accuracy of doctrine defined by previous councils. That is (largely) what is meant by "Tradition;" Tradition and Scripture are presumed to be in accord.

HOWEVER, Canon law may be changed. The councils decide doctrine, which is considered infallible once decided; but discipline is fallible and errant and may be changed.

>>Our Book of Discipline can change EXCEPT in our constitution, articles of religion, and confession of faith.

It sounds like it contains canon law (which can be changed) and doctrine (which, like your articles, confession and constitution cannot be.) In fact, the product of Vatican 2 was called the "Dogmatic Constitution."
