I'm trying to parse the words carefully to say "recognized as dogma" instead of "become dogma", but basically. How does a bill become a law, according to the Catholic Church. If, for instance, a group of neo-Origenists went [balls to the wall](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/balls_to_the_wall) interpreting the Bible to mean that souls preexist conception. What processes are in place to move a something that most Catholics assent to (i.e. the human soul is created at the moment of conception) to something on the level of Doctrine or Dogma?
