Heresu does not mean "wrong belief" (generically or relatively). It means "that which the Church does not teach." The church invented the term.

I was unaware you had such an insular definition of the word.

This definition is a good example why it is impossible for you to recognize error within your church. By your definition, your church can never be wrong because they define all things. Those of us that are in Christian sects that are not EO, or RC, define all things against what is written in Scripture.

Yes and no. The doctrine of the Orthodox church comes from 7 seven councils (before the schism) where the entire church met, in the presence of the Holy Spirit. That's about all we call infailible.
