Are dogmas able to be demythologized? I always thought dogmas were settled.

Isn’t the original post about doctrine?

Big difference in my estimation.

Guess I’m confused with the interchange. Maybe I missed something.

Depends how one is defining “dogma.” If using the pure RCC definition, sure, they are settled.

That says, “baggage” grows up around any given dogma, and, IMHO, the proof behind any given dogma should be revisited, simply as an intellectual exercise to strengthen one’s faith and sharpen belief.

The process also prevent heresy from slipping in.

It mixes both words. The title entry uses “doctrinal”, but in the body “dogma” is used and the examples are from consiliar dogmas.
