I have a link I bookmarked awhile back that purports to list all the dogmas of the Catholic Church. It’s right here. My questions for the kind folks here are:
  1. Is this document represented accurately? I.e., are those indeed all the dogmas of the Catholic Church?
  2. Does anyone know of a similar document that provides references to the original council or document whereby those teachings were elevated to the level of dogma?
Thanks,
Jeremy
 
Since they are derived from Ludwig Ott’s “Fundamentals of Catholic Dogma” they are most probably right. Ott certainly is, as I understand from others on the board who swear by him.
 
Even Ott, while almost always accurate, does occasionally reproduce a bit of error or bias from his time. It is always best where possible to return to the primary sources of dogma, which are collected in the Denzinger works. That gives you canons of councils, papal encyclicals, and the like.

Not to say that Ott isn’t “good enough for government work,” but if precision really matters, then you may have to delve deeper.
