Up until now, I thought the same. At this point, although I am not seeing official changes to moral teaching (and here I am not referring to the changes that did in fact happen at Vatican II like false ecumenism and religious liberty), I am seeing words/actions or lack of words/inaction by members of the hierarchy that lead Catholics and others to believe teaching will change/has changed.
Does it really matter what the Catechism states if the leaders do things that say something different? Or not do or say something that clearly teaches the official party line? If bishops give communion to public pro-abortion politicians, does it matter that the official party line is abortion is evil?
Excellent point. Alas
And how about that glorious send-off for Ted Kennedy? The message sent to the faithful by members of the hierarchy who toady to pro-abortion politicians is "do what I say, ignore what I do". It's sickening to observe bishops and cardinals allowing complete latitude to powerful pro-aborts and militant gay pastors, obscenely overpaying diocesan bureaucrats and funding leftist causes while expecting the faithful to quietly pay, pray and obey. On the bright side, there is still a remnant of sincere Catholics capable of being scandalized by the blatant hypocrisy of "Let's not use the Eucharist as a weapon" - doublespeak for "let's not rock the boat with the leftist politicians among whom we want to curry favor".
