Dogma is considered to be generally more flexible than orthodoxy, due to the fact that dogma represents a way of thinking that can be ascribed to someones personal life experience, whereas orthodoxy doesn't not change.

A dogma can be defined as a principle or set of principles laid down by an authority as incontrovertibly true.

Orthodoxy is defined as an authorized or generally accepted theory, doctrine, or practice.

In general terms, dogma is considered to be more flexible than orthodoxy, since dogma is something that one devises over the course of life and experience, whereas orthodoxy is unchanged.
