We are in an orthodoctic era. Lots of tensions about what principle is the best to follow, less patience and acceptance.

Would you please define that word? I can't find a definition online and I try to look up unfamiliar words to widen my vocabulary.

I'm not the OP, but my attempt through breaking down word etymologies would be something like:
ortho: rigid, straight, correct
doct: teachings, learnings
ic: of, or pertaining to
So orthodoctic seems to have the meaning of "pertaining to rigid or correct teachings".

Hm I improvised an adjective for orthodoxy. Maybe it's orthodoxic .. I hope you get the meaning now.

The adjective form of orthodoxy is orthodox. Think of something like the "Orthodox" church. And it's antonym is "unorthodox", for example: "the unorthodox church" ;)
