Because one may speak a language doesn’t prevent one from falling into error. We see error being dealt with in the early NT church by both Paul and John. What makes you think the Greek Orthodox could not be in error as well?

It is the universal teaching of the entire one holy catholic apostolic church for almost 2000 years. It was only modernists who rejected this ancient and universally accepted traditional teaching about the perpetual virginity of Mary. The original Protestants allowed the traditional teaching.

Indeed, the underlying premise, and disqualifying flaw, of the thousands of disparate religious communities which insist that all those who came before them were in error. They themselves have no apostle or prophet, and no provenance back to the apostles.

It was only modernists who rejected this ancient and universally accepted traditional teaching about the perpetual virginity of Mary.

And yet the One True Church is quite interested in any NEW findings of OLD scripture in remote and obscure places.

...universally accepted... by those who seemed to shrink back from the possibilities of being boiled in oil or rendered into pieces by the One True Church.

Indeed, the underlying premise, and disqualifying flaw, of the thousands of disparate religious communities which insist that all those who came before them were in error.

History PROVES that the disqualifying flaw; of the One True Church; is in it's insistance that all those who came AFTER them are in error.

"One indeed is the universal Church of the faithful, outside which no one at all is saved, in which the priest himself is the sacrifice, Jesus Christ, whose body and blood are truly contained in the sacrament of the altar under the species of bread and wine; the bread (changed) into His body by the divine power of transubstantiation, and the wine into the blood, so that to accomplish the mystery of unity we ourselves receive from His (nature) what He Himself received from ours."

--Pope Innocent III and Lateran Council IV (A.D. 1215)

You keep appealing to the Greek Orthodox as long running tradition to justify your position....aren't they the ones who disagree about the status of the Pope?

As you seem to be embracing the GO, are you willing to admit they're right about the pope and the RCC is wrong?
