I’m sorry, are non-Catholic Christians asking us to “reinterpret” our position on something because they, the non-Catholics, don’t like it? I don’t mean to be uncharitable to our separated brothers and sisters. I’m also a bit alarmed at the idea that the Church would reconsider/ reformulate/ reinterpret/ re whatever any teachings, particularly those of a council just because someone outside the communion doesn’t like them.
I am reminded that Koch agreed to Sola gratia. The obvious conclusions drawn from that doctrine is either that God gives some people enough grace to get to heaven and others not, or that everyone goes to heaven.
I was taught a different reality. Without God we can't. Without us God won't. Or act as though everything depends on you and pray as though everything depends on God.
So at any rate I see this as another attempt to sell out the faith for the sake of unity.

It would be impossible anyway. We can't rewrite history and we can't deny dogmatic statements of ecumenical councils.
Was Vatican I an ecumenical council?
Were all the ones held in the West after the Second Council of Nicaea "ecumenical?"
They seem to be General Councils of the Western Church.
Remember, those of us in the West live in a culture of relativism. Rewriting history and dogma are de rigeur.
