but re-establishing norms, clarifying questions, changing internal proceedures, re establishing already, but questioned by others(outside the church)truths, brings the organization up to date...Mind you, I did not approve of some of the things that they changed,

Yes, the RCC did change things, invented things and dropped certain things. Glad to see you have corrected yourself since you claimed, "the Catholic Church has taught the same thing for 2,013 years".

I did not "correct" my true statement that the catholic church has taught the same thing for 2,013 years....that remains the same....what she does in things like the Vatical council is to reestablish and clarify her teachings...bring up to date some internal mechanical practices, re establish her authority by renewing and reiterating the biblical passages which gives her the authority....She has done so for over 2,000 years and has yet to err in important matters of faith and morals...
