I don't like the word 'orthodoxy'. From my understanding, it means 'correct belief'. Correct is constant, whereas belief is changing. The perception of which beliefs are correct keeps moving. So, unorthodox beliefs can be correct. In this sense, orthodox is meaningless as a defining characteristic of what is good belief.
That's not what it means.
What does it mean? I'm sincerely very curious. In regard to religion, I hear this term often...
It means that literally, but since no one gets to know what's correct, it means 'believing the same thing as the authorities'.
