First a short diversion via Husserl : There is a consequence in the fact that Husserl's writings were saved from the Nazis by the Belgian Franciscan priest Herman van Breda, when learning about it it did not surprise me, it felt absolutely right. Maybe it is just because I come from a very blessed place, where the local Dutch Roman Catholic priest and the local German Protestant Communist physician used to meet regularly to drink some red wine and play a game of chess ;-)

...Back to dogmatism: If I do understand Husserl correctly, any system, in which denial is categorically and systematically ruled out, is dogmatic and in consequence deceptive, i e a lie and untrue. Thus if you come across somebody who does not allow you to question his motives and who considers any argument against his concept as heretic, calling you even ignorant for not seeing the world like him or her, beware for whatever this is certainly a falsehood. Just like the infamous Gunther von Hagens , who would reply that any of his critics or people, who believe his exhibition to be disgusting, have a deranged relation to their own body. Just beware!!!
