Abstract
This article examines the notion of orthodoxy and the appropriate process for its determination in the Catholic Church. After outlining extreme approaches to the question, the article proposes that any approach to the determination of orthodoxy must make clear its position on three areas of theological enquiry: the theology of religious language; theological epistemology; and theological hermeneutics. It is then proposed that the determination of orthodoxy is a dialogic process of reception within the church.
