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.

What changes after Vatican II regarding fish on Fridays?

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.
