A dead dogma is an opinion or believe that is accepted as true by a community to the point where discussions about is cease. From that point onward it becomes what is known as a hereditary creed, where it is passed on from generation to generation and the meaning is essentially lost in a belief in its self evident truth. Without discussion and contrary opinion the underlying principles are no longer brought out, and meaning can essentially be lost.
Such as when people parrot the beliefs of their parents with little understanding of them. Ask a person why they are catholic, for example, and if they reply "because I am", "because I believe in god" or "because I was raised to be one", then it is likely that this is simply a repitition of a belief that they were raised to hold true, but which do not understand.
Discussion allows these doctrines to become living truths, when the underlying principles are brought out we understand why we believe in those things. But when discussion stops, ideas become stagnant and cease to develop, and they are known as dead dogmas.
