its happened before
we don't follow the srtict guidelines that they did in the past...for example it used to be a sin to eat meat on any friday...then i think the order was then no meat on fridays during lent and you should fast...then the irish became exempt from that because of the potato famine...then the fasting became for those under 16 or 18 i can't remember which, PLUS the fasting was only on fridays....it may take a while but eventually the church will completely change it's views. a more recent example would be attending mass. it used to be unexcusable to miss mass on a sunday. you had to go to catholic services. now it's acceptable to go to greek orthodox or eastern orthodox as well. you used to have to have your head covered at mass...now you odn't. the services used to be in latin, now they're in spanish, english, italian...every language possible. the catholic church changes practices a lot more frequently than most realize.
