Why has Catholic Church policy and dogma changed so much over various centuries?
Firstly, the Church does not change Her dogmas and beliefs. They have always been believed, and when official announcements are made, they are only to clarify a misunderstanding of that dogma. As we enter into new times and encounter new problems and ideologies, the Church needs to reaffirm Her teachings when they misunderstood, and has to change certain policies in order to face the new challenges and difficulties. For example, to be able to meet the demands of a Church filled with so many cultures, the Church had to make the Mass vernacular so that people can understand the sacred mysteries better.

Heresies did not necessarily help with the development of the Orthodox church. Heretics were either asked to renounce their heresy or were excommunicated as the Orthodox Church does not believe in change, whether in church doctrine and dogma, or the Churches Holy Traditions.
