Dogma of faith: truth that God has opportunely revealed
In the case of religion, for example, more precisely of the Catholic religion, a dogma of faith, as it is formally called, is that truth that God has opportunely revealed and that as such, because it comes from him, is that the ecclesiastical institution declares it as a certain and undoubted truth, that every Catholic must respect and assume as true. This dogma that came from God himself passed through the apostolic tradition that was responsible for its dissemination later and finally the Catholic Church formalizes it from its announcement to the faithful.
The dogmas were proposed by Jesus and then the apostles and the church gave absolute faith of them and they became fundamental and unquestionable bases of the ideology and the Catholic proposal.
Proposed by competent authorities
Meanwhile, the dogma will always be proposed and supported by a competent authority, such as the Church, for example, as we discussed in the previous paragraph, since being the highest authority on earth through which God expresses himself, it holds that place of authority and it is up to it, then, to uphold all the dogmas that have been proposed by God and even more to continue spreading them.
Never, never, a dogma can be subjected to any test, to verification or simply doubted, as we pointed out, it is accepted without any kind of question or objection.
These days, the term dogma is more than anything linked and associated with this use that is given at the behest of religion.
One of the most important dogmas held by the Church and therefore the Christian religion, is the one that proposes the belief in a single God, who manifests himself in three different persons, that is, in God the father creator of all things that They are present in the universe, son, incarnate in Christ, who had the mission of saving humanity from original sin through his crucifixion, death and resurrection, and in the mystery of the holy spirit.
Although it is also worth noting that almost all religions have their own dogmas, not only Christianity, so Judaism, Islam, among others, have dogmas or principles that are the maximum truths of the religion in question and on which the beliefs are based. beliefs.
Cinema: Dogma 95, anti-Hollywood movement
On the other hand, the concept of dogma found its way into the language of cinema to name a particular avant-garde film movement that back in the mid-1990s was proposed by directors of Danish origin, Lars von Trier and Thomas Vinterberg.
His proposal basically consisted of a reaction against the Hollywood mega industry in which super productions, special effects and the exacerbated use of technology are privileged. Against all this the Danish actors went out to “fight” through their Dogma 95.
The accent on the dramatic, a real cinema without decorations and made in real settings, shot camera in hand, without effects or sound and lighting mixes, without optical effects or the use of filters, that the story and the action have a deep content and not ephemeral or superficial, not allowing genre films and the director not appearing in the film's credits, are some of the main proposals of this movement.
In his appearance he was able to cause a sensation and a shock, due to the avant-garde and uniqueness of his message, however, he did not know how to stay in time due to the impossibility of fulfilling some of his maxims.
The Celebration is the first film to emerge from Dogma 95 and as such it was a great revelation and success. It narrates the difficult relationships around a family. It has a dramatic and sentimental charge as powerful as it was proposed from the foundations of Dogma 95.
