Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

Dogma (specifically Catholic dogma) is narrowly defined as that part of doctrine which has been divinely revealed and which the Church has formally defined and declared to be believed as revealed. Perhaps it is telling that the word dogma originates in the Greek, meaning opinion.
"Jesus founded His Church, which He willed to last until His Second Coming, on Peter and the Apostles. In order that the Gospel might be preserved intact, the Apostles appointed bishops as their successors and conferred their own teaching authority on them. Thus, this sacred Tradition and the sacred Scriptures are like a mirror, in which the Church, during its pilgrim journey here on earth, contemplates God (#7).
In this way the apostolic preaching is preserved without corruption until the end of time. The teaching of the Church on faith and morals is based on that original preaching. But it is not static. There is growth in the understanding of the faith, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, which takes place through reflection on God's Word by saints and bishops and theologians. As time goes by the Church advances in its understanding of what has been revealed and applies the ancient truths to new problems and circumstances, such as changes in the social order and in the physical and life sciences."

IOW dogma evolves.

But your source doesn't really say dogma evolves. In fact, it says it doesn't in that it is revealed. Those ancient truths remain the same. They are applied to an evolving world.
It's the same when people say the founding principles of the Declaration and Constitution of the US remain true and unchanged to today even as applied to an evolving world.

I still consider myself Catholic even though yu will bind me at more independent christian churches on any given Sunday.
Dogma has become whatever will keeps us in the money. Gays, abortion, divorce (fake annulment)... and some really disgusting crimes have become at minimum ignored.
Now they have a Socialist Pope promoting stealing from others instead of charity.
