It is extremely difficult to make a definitive statement that the culture changed but the Church did not.

I think it would be impossible to make such a statement. The Church is made up of people from the culture itself. The Church is supposed to reach out to the world, not separate itself from it.

I don't even understand what prompted Vatican II, let alone what promoted the Roman Catholic Church to turn everything upside down and "Protestantize" itself almost to the point of being unrecognizable to the Orthodox.

Vatican 2 itself was really an outstanding effort, no doubt, a working of the Holy Spirit. Unfortunately, execution of its constitutions and declarations were another story. However, I have ultimate faith that this is all in God's hands for His own reasons.
