You had your chance. Too bad you were too paranoid about following thru.

The last time they changed the rules, when they made the Pope rather
than a group infallible there was a schism.
The rules have never changed. When was the last schism?

This has been pointed ou to you any number of times. The last major one was
in 1871 when the pope declared that he was infalliable instead of the
magisterium.

Schism?

Marriage of priests will be allowed sooner or later and the next
moderate to liberal (relatively speaking) pope will almost certainly
approve birth control in marriage.

Don't hold your breath.
I don't have to, it is alreadly allowed in some parts of the world.

Nope.

Abortion will come along sooner or later.

Never on this one. It's directly contrary to God's word. The only
way to approve this one is to find another name for this failed
church.
They said the same thing about touching the host.

Not dogma.

The RCC has survived by changing and several things you went to hell
for when I was a kid are every day occurrences now. (Or once a week
in the case of meat on Friday)
Required act of penance, but no dogma.
Meat on Friday and touching the host were mortal sins.

Neither dogma.
