Carol,

The difficulty in defining every doctrinal reference in the Church is that all the words of the Prophets and Apostles, when they are speaking in those roles, are binding as the will of the Lord. Thus, every General Conference, more is added. The scriptures of the Church are the Bible, the Book of Mormon, the Doctrine and Covenants, and the Pearl of Great Price. More may be added from time to time as new revelations are brought forth.

Thus, the catechism of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints would be incomplete within months after it is published. Additionally, there are ordinances which are not given to the world, but which are found in the Temple. These could not be included, but they are a part of the doctrine of the Church.

If you want to search the teachings of Church leaders, my suggestion is http://lds.org/search
