BlueDragon:

ON what Defide Doctrines proclaimed at the highest level of dogmatic teaching has Rome reversed itself, Trinity, Incarnation, Christ passion, death, resurrection and ascension into heaven, sacraments, original sin and personal sin, Grace is what saves? Where has Rome reversed itself.

There is a hiearachy of Truths, those that are considered Divine Revelation that are unchangable Dogmatic Teachings don’t change. There are teachings that are prudential, based on the best information the Church has, that can change and are proposed to the faithful to be held, but those can be reformed, updated, modified. For example, for a long time the Catholic Church was against interest, given the nature of the economic system in an agriculture based economy. As economies became more sophisticated and we moved more into an industrial and business type economy, Interest/Usury was no longer forbidden.

I don’t see that as problematic and it is perfectly reasonable to change your teachings on economic morality to better fit the economics of the age we are in.
