The country has had a tradition in religion that it is
not a matter of doctrine of dogma or rites and
ceremonies are instruments which help the human
individual to see his God face to face. They point out
to us to use Saint Paul's expression, that on the way
to it we see as through a glass darkly; when we get
out of it, we see Him face to face. The pathway may
twist and turn, but when once you reach the top you
have the spiritual landscape which is common to all
the mystics and seers from whatever direction they
approach that quest. Whether you're a Hindu, aº
Muslim or a Christian, your differences relate to the
ways of approach, or forms of address ........... but
when once the religious quest is completed, when
you're able to reach your goal of completing yourself
of integrating your personality from whatever
religion you come, you feel that you belong to one
common family

Explanation:
Doctrine and dogma, the explication and officially acceptable version of a religious teaching. The development of doctrines and dogmas has significantly affected the traditions, institutions, and practices of the religions of the world. Doctrines and dogmas also have influenced and been influenced by the ongoing development of secular history, science, and philosophy.

This distinction appears in Christianity in the New Testament, in which didaskalia means “basic teachings” (as in 1 and 2 Timothy), whereas dogma is used only in the sense of an official judgment or decree (as in Acts 16:4). Later, however, many theologians of the early church (including, for example, Origen, St. Cyril of Jerusalem, and St. Jerome) use the term dogma in the sense of doctrine. In Eastern Christianity, the theologian St. John of Damascus popularized the term orthodoxy (literally “correct views”) to connote the sum of Christian truth. In Western Christianity, the great medieval theologian St. Thomas Aquinas chose the phrase “articles of faith” to denote those doctrines that are solemnly defined by the church and are considered to be obligatory for faith. As late as the Roman Catholic reformatory Council of Trent (1545–63), doctrine and dogma were still roughly synonymous.

Dogma is not doctrinal opinion, not the pronouncement of any given teacher, but doctrinal statute (decretum). The dogmas of a church are those doctrines which it declares to be the most essential contents of Christianity.
A modern church historian, Adolf von Harnack, sought to explain the rise of dogma in Christianity as the specific consequence of an alien blend of Greek metaphysics and Christian thought that had been rendered obsolete by Protestantism’s appeal to scripture and history. The German Roman Catholic dogmatician Karl Rahner’s contrasting definition, in Sacramentum Mundi, points to a perennial process:

Dogma is a form of the abiding vitality of the deposit of faith in the church which itself remains always the same.
