And is there a website that I can go to to find these to read them and find out what they are and who wrote them? Thanks!

Just like all Catholics are Christians and some Christians are Catholics, all dogma is doctrine and some doctrine is dogma.
+ Dogma +
Dogma is a doctrine that is infallibly taught by the Pope and comes from Christ’s public revelation through either of two sources:
- Sacred Scripture
- Sacred Tradition
+ Doctrine +
Doctrine is a truth whose acceptance is necessary for the faithful, whether or not infallibly taught and comes from
- Christ’s public revelation
- Theological conclusion
- Natural law
A complete explanation of Catholic doctrines (including dogma) is included in the Catechism of the Catholic Church: http://www.nccbuscc.org/catechism/text/
With love in Christ.

There is a difference between doctrine and dogma. Doctrines are official teachings of the Catholic Church. They are not necessarily definitive teachings (i.e. infallible teachings). A doctrine that is taught as definitive (infallible) is called a dogma. All dogmas are doctrines, but not all doctrines are dogmas. Doctrines may change but our belief is that dogmas are always true and will never become untrue. That does not mean that the way they are stated does not change. Some dogmas are restated and refined in language because of cultural changes that have happened since they were originally stated.

hi,
Doctrine contains the propositions of Faith that all Catholics are expected to accept. Dogma contains those doctrines that have been defined by Pope or Council or Tradition.
and here's some reading for you on both. http://www.secondexodus.com/html/catholicdefinitions/doctrine.htm
I hope this helps~ :)

Doctrine is what they say they believe and dogmas or what I call traditions of man, they are not in the bible nor are required they are just ceremonies of tradition of man, and Jesus says these make the POWER of his word void. Here read this it is whats required and how to full fill it!

Dogma are those things that you must believe. Doctrines are debatable. Here is a good site:

Because of your question, I just did a quick search for "Catholic dogma" and three websites immediately were available. I am sure that searches worded a little differently will give further results.
Why are you interested in Church dogma?
Isn't it more profitable to discover what the Bible itself teaches?

Jesus was said to be (dogmatic). because when he was before the then governor ..the governor asked are you the son of god!? Jesus said if you believe i am then i am !!.(he couldn't give a strat answer)...the Bible is said to be an unproven doctrine.
