Some people confuse “long time” with always. Many Catholics do not communicate with absolute precision.

Last I checked very few Catholics claim that what is done in 2024 (or 2023 or 2022) is precisely what was done in 67 in absolutely every way.

Except in this case....one among several.

On the Immaculate Conception.:

And indeed, illustrious documents of venerable antiquity, of both the Eastern and the Western Church, very forcibly testify that this doctrine of the Immaculate Conception of the most Blessed Virgin, which was daily more and more splendidly explained, stated and confirmed by the highest authority, teaching, zeal, knowledge, and wisdom of the Church, and which was disseminated among all peoples and nations of the Catholic world in a marvelous manner ...this doctrine always existed in the Church as a doctrine that has been received from our ancestors.

Which is a blatant falsehood as it has not always existed in the ekklesia. Now, maybe Rome is splitting hairs on the definition of "church".
