What made Christians change? I guess I should say "start to change" because the change still has a way to go.

It's the change in the role of the Catholic Church (mother church of all Christianity in Europe) that was significant, not the nature of its doctrines or rituals per se. The Church occupied a powerful role for centuries and acted as a consistent, stabilizing, civilizing and educative force. The Church became corrupt and was challenged by other forces, but it didn't change until it had to, and the social, economic and political upheaval was enormous. I wouldn't expect much less in the Middle East, unfortunately. You talk about not being able to own property in PA when you got married, but it didn't take a revolution for that to change. It will in the Middle East.
