My western civilization course book was written by a black Catholic Monk and showed pictures with doctrinal changes in the Catholic church.
If the doctrine changes, was it ever true?

I think the Church that was posted is Beautiful. That's all. Not here to argue what people believe. I'll keep what I believe to myself. This forum has taught me to do just that.
Welcome to the forum, Chuck!

There's a difference between dogma and doctrine, don't confuse the two. Even so, I'd like a reference please and thank you.
Btw, why mention the author's color, what does that have to do with anything?

They are really my professor's words..not mine. I quoted him.
My history professor's alma mater was Yale. I did not go to Yale but my History Professor did.
It was probably unusual that a Black Augustinian Monk wrote our history book or maybe it was a first. My professor showcased it to show how unbiased the information was that it didn't come from a prejudiced mindset in the sense that a lot of history has been through the eyes of White people or an establishment that everyone doesn't agree with. What else would liberal college professors say other than flowery language to liberate you from the ignorance of the past?
I would have to break out my college notebooks when I have a chance to do so and tell you what the name of the textbook was.

I'm sure it is beautiful. A lot of art is beautiful and I think someone commissions the best to draw on expensive architecture because it was the center of life in those days.

“It is interesting how a woman who calls herself a slave is supposedly going to get favors done or be a mediator when she is listed last in the book of Acts and then nothing else is said about her in the Bible to have the kind of role she has in Catholicism but that is not the Mary of the Bible." "Mary was just one of many praying to God:”
"Mary (Arabic: مريم Maryām), the mother of Jesus (Isa), is considered one of the most righteous women in the Islamic religion. She is mentioned more in the Quran[2] than in the entire New Testament and is also the only woman mentioned by name in the Quran.[3] According to the Quran, Jesus was born miraculously by the will of God without a father. His mother is regarded as a chaste and virtuous woman and is said to have been a virgin. The Quran states clearly that Jesus was the result of a virgin birth, but that neither Mary nor her son were divine. In the Quran, no other woman is given more attention than Mary and the Quran states that Mary was chosen above all women:
Behold! the angels said: "O Mary! Allah hath chosen thee and purified thee – chosen thee above the women of all nations.
—Quran, sura 3 (Al Imran), ayah 42[4]
The nineteenth chapter of the Quran, Maryam (sura) is named after her and is, to some extent, about her life. Of the Quran's 114 suras, she is among only eight people who have a chapter named after them. Mary is specifically mentioned in the Quran, alongside Asiya, as an exemplar for all righteous women.[5] Mary plays an important role in Islamic culture and religious tradition, and verses from the Quran relating to Mary are frequently inscribed on the mihrab of various mosques, including in the Hagia Sophia.[6]"
