Is this one of those doctrines that Catholics are not allowed to dissent against, or are they allowed to believe different?

It depends on if it is something that is declared "ex cathedra", or "from the chair". If Pope Francis, or any pope, declares that it is a matter of faith that ALL must receive and hold to, then it would be a mortal sin to dissent. That seems to be the deciding factor though we can, and have, pointed out other ex cathedra declarations that were subsequently overruled or "reformulated positively" (i.e., extra Ecclesiam nulla salus).

I suppose it depends on who you talk to.
