Besides Christ (God) is the OC infallible? I read this book and it says this:
Fr. John Meyendorff (1926-1992 A.D.) taught the following:
“Without ever being considered infallible individually, the bishops—separately or gathered in council—were the normal witnesses to the true teaching…The ecumenical councils never became organs of infallibility whose decisions were accepted automatically […] The first council of Nicaea (325), was rejected for more than half a century before it obtained general recognition and came to be regarded as the symbol of an ecumenical council par excellence”

Fr. Sergius teach again:
“It must be remembered that even ecumenical councils are not external organs established for the infallible proclamation of the truth and instituted expressly for that. Such a proposition would lead to the conclusion that, without councils, the Church would cease to be ‘catholic’ and infallible.”
