Catholic AnswerVatican II itself did not change anything, the Holy Father (Pope Paul VI at that time) instituted most of the changes, the biggest changes that the Second Vatican Council actually asked for were:.
1) deeper spirituality and participation by the laity
2) a missionary spirit to go out and live your Christianity and convert all those you know.
.
So the Council asked for people to take their religion seriously, and to go deeper. The unfortunate thing was the "reform" was hijacked by modernism and most of the changes that are seen are only surface deep and really weren't that important anyway. The big change was that Vatican II was asking everyone to take their religion seriously and to get involved.
