I know what Vatican 1 stated. If, as you claim, the doctrine was invented at Vatican 1 then it it cannot have changed. There was nothing to change from.

I asked for an example of where the Catholic Church has "CONTRADICTED or REVERSED official DOCTRINES". Claiming that a doctrine is invented does not fulfill that.

Yes I carry cash. Some shops where I live only take cash.

USA or UK election day?

Normally only the responsorial psalm that comes between the first two reading at a Sunday Mass.

The first one I owned was the BBC Micro back in the early 1980s. The first one I ever used was the London University Atlas back in 1965.

This is not what the Catholic Church teaches. From the Directory of Popular Piety issued by the Congregation For Divine Worship: "The Rosary, or Psalter of the Blessed Virgin Mary, is one of the most excellent prayers to the Mother of God). Thus, "the Roman Pontiffs have repeatedly exhorted the...
