Do you think its weird that the Catholic Church changes its mind on certain issues and attempts to modernize? It seems as though doing this makes the church seem very imperfect, sort of saying that the message that was supposedly perfect and straight from God actually had it wrong, which also would make one skeptical of future and current 'rules'.
It also introduces the idea that society and non-Catholic culture is as important as Catholic beliefs/culture- adapting to non-Catholic ideas may be justified theologically, but it will always seem a little like the Church just wants to keep relevant and powerful rather than deliver a perfect and universal doctrine.
Overall, I'm just not quite sure how Catholics can be so fine with the Church adapting so much. It seems like it's just making the religion easier, and is introducing the idea that the Church is second to the rest of the world than the other way around. It makes it seem like the Church is more of a market trying to attract people to its establishment than a true and theologically sound belief system.

From a Catholic perspective, the Vatican 2 reforms are 100 years of Satan being able to tempt the church. At least we have a metaphysical reason for the current catastrophe. Compare that to the Protestants who just suck without any obvious reasons why.

No. Religion is something that is interpreted and exists at specific times in humanity to guide those in a certain direction. Certain laws and commandments are those that will never change - customs and general opinion always does and religion is a reflection of that

No religion is static. They have undergone changes since forever. It's just the nature of the things, as nothing is static.

Religions that don't adapt, die.
Christianity itself is an adaptation.

Ok, let's go with the idea of non-flexible church.
Let's burn all the "unholy" books. Let's execute all those nasty heretics. Like in the good ol days. Oh yeah... it's been too long since the last crusade...
Catholics would be villified like nazis if they wouldn't adopt to the new, more humane and rational world.
There might be an objective morality or at least something that works for every society of humans. And bible might be right on that in a couple of places. But most of it, and especially most of church's doctrines is bullshit. It's not universal.
