I do not understand what you are saying, and why you are telling me (in addition to OLD REGGIE)

In this thread, you asked me to provide "A Catholic link" supporting my statement that the teachings of the RC Church concerning Ecumenism have changed since Vatican II. The unspoken sentiment is that the statement is false, and can not be supported via references. The particular thought in dispute is that the teachings have changed over time.

The point I was making in the previous post is that Freeper Catholics themselves argue over the changes from Vatican II. So why would you (a Catholic) ask me (a Protestant) to provide a link? In fact, I even provided a link to a recent thread where Catholics were arguing the very point I was making! I'll provide it again:

Vatican II & Ecumenism: What did the Council Really Say?

Most frequently, Catholics let their apologetic stance against Protestants blind them to their own disputes: Catholics desire to tell Protestants that the Church has remained a constant bastion of orthodox truth, ever consistent with patristics, as unanimous and harmonious as it believes the fathers were. ...but... You guys argue amongst yourselves concerning the historicity of certain theologies; each party accusing the other of anachronism.

I posted the above sentiment in fewer words to you and Old Reggie since the three of us were the ones discussing the changes in teachings of the RCC.

SoliDeoGloria, you are generous in giving your time to explain what you meant.  Thank you.
I would do better to compose a more thoughtful response giving you my opinion on your assertions and observations tomorrow (hopefully I will have time).  That is, of course, unless you are uninterested.    "Your move".    :-)

FReegards and God Bless!
