Best Answer

Anybody can declare a new Doctrine; but the question really is, will anybody adhere to it? The authority to declare doctrine varies depending on the Christian denomination, and I presume that it varies through time. Anybody can declare doctrine, but whether that doctrine survives depends on how many adhere to it. And I suspect the number of adherents depends on how useful the doctrine is to various individuals. In a free country, there is no official declarer of religious doctrine. In the Roman Catholic faith, the pope declares doctrine. In the Orthodox Christian faith, only a Church Council or Synod declares doctrine. In Protestant groups, anyone can declare their own doctrine.

James Monroe issued the "Monroe Doctrine" in 1823.
