Depends on which doctrines you mean. Those defined infallibly, are set
in stone for eternity. As for the rest ... well, the Church, on the
one hand, says that the time of public revelation ended with the
closing of Scripture, but allows for a kind of private revelation in
prayer; yet at the same time it allows for a kind of public revelation
_through the Church_, through the "development of doctrine" and the
teaching authority (_Magisterium_) of the Church.
It's complicated...
