I took this to mean that your view was that the individual books of the Bible, or more importantly, the individual authors, were NOT infallibly protected from corruption, just as individual Fathers were not. I took you to mean that whatever corruption IS in the Bible can only be corrected through Church interpretation.

I think this is a mischaracterization. The Orthodox only view the councils (where the whole church has gathered in the presence of the Holy Spirit) as infailable, and even councils have been failable to the extent that latter councils have sometimes changed the rulings of previous ones. The Holy Spirit is critical here. We find it quite likely that when the whole church gatherers together the Holy Spirit does not ignore the church (Christ said he'd send his church the Holy Spirit after all). We don't find it to be at all a given that a single person reading the Bible or a single person who happens to be Bishop of Rome are individually infailable or individually given to infailably be guided by the Holy Spirit.

The Orthodox only view the councils (where the whole church has gathered in the presence of the Holy Spirit) as infallible, and even councils have been fallible to the extent that latter councils have sometimes changed the rulings of previous ones.

My understanding of Orthodoxy is that what you believe today is exactly what you have always and everywhere believed. This would prohibit councils from overruling prior ones. Is this incorrect?
