Vatican II could have further emphasized the role of the laity in church governance and decision-making, enhancing their involvement in parish and diocesan matters. It might have also addressed contemporary social issues more explicitly, such as economic inequality and environmental stewardship, promoting a more active role for the Church in advocating for social justice. Additionally, a stronger ecumenical approach could have been adopted, fostering deeper interfaith dialogue and collaboration to promote unity among Christian denominations.

Actually, very few people think the changes made by the Second Vatican Council were a "disaster". Even fewer people have actually read the documents and know what the Council said. Unfortunately, in the fifty years after the Second Vatican Council most of the changes that were made, were "in the spiritof Vatican II and were NOT asked for by the Council. Those things were a disaster - look at the state of the church as compared with before the Council, the number of priests and religious is in free fall, churches are closing every day, the Catholic school system is only a shadow of its former self. The number of people leaving the Church each year exceeds the number of converts and confirmations by four to one. Anyone who does not think that the state of the Church is a disaster in the early 21st century has their head in the sand. For more information, please see "Dispatches" at the link below.

Catholic AnswerThe Second Vatican Council was not a doctrinal Council, and thus made NO changes in the Church's doctrine. Vatican Council II, for the first time in history, was an entirely pastoral council. Of the twenty-one ecumenical councils of the Church, Vatican Council II was the only one to not deal with any doctrinal issues. The task assigned to the Council by Pope John XXIII was Aggiornamento, in Italian this means a bringing up to date. The Pope asked the Council to try to speak to the people of modern times, to put things in terms that they could understand, to make things more relevant to them. .Thus the most explicit change in the Church was one where the Church was called to be more outgoing, to train its faithful in the Christian life to realize that, as Christians, they are of necessity, evangelists.
What changes could be implemented to make medical education available to a more diverse population?
The Second Vatican Council, itself, made no changes to Friday abstinence, although Pope Paul VI, streamlined, and explicated the reasons for Friday abstinence. He also allowed, with specific permission from the Vatican, individual Bishops' Conferences to allow individuals to substitute some other penance on Fridays outside of Lent if it would be more meaningful. That has been a total disaster, and they are just now started to rescind that, I believe that the English Bishops have already returned that entire country to mandatory Friday abstinence year round.
