A debate that is ongoing, and caused a schism among its own hierarchy denouncing the Council as heresy. Sometimes its two steps forward and one back, or one pope forward and two back, and one forward again. What is it that you define as 'superficial and misleading'?

What do I define as 'superficial and misleading'?
Easy, having the unmitigated gall to reduce nearly two millennia of the most persistent and pernicious oppression to "one pope forward and two back, and one forward again".

The history of humanity tends to include the fact that majority religions and denominations generally are not very kind to minority religions, but I am not using this as a "Johnny did it too!" excuse as that didn't work for me as a child and it ain't gonna work for me as an adult.
I was referring to only the Vatican II Council. No one may change the past, only admit the wrongs, ask forgiveness, chart a new course, go forward.

I don't have a religion but I do have an interest in religion in the abstract and specific. I suppose that I see religion as something like an expression of how a culture percieves its relationship to the cosmos. That sometimes includes myth, storytelling, ethics, aesthetics, hermeneutics, law, reason etc.
I think all the different ways of expressing this provide us with conceptual tools for making sense of the world, give it meaning and help locate our place in it. So my religion of one says that there is value in every tradition.
