The Orthodox Church has no single "leader". Every man sins, and thus one man cannot control a whole Church as he will add many false beliefs to the church because he is human and sins(as we have and currently see happening with the Catholic Church's "infallible" Pope." Instead, the Orthodox Church has 14 Patriarchs, each Patriarch is responsible for a different Patriarchate, but all Patriarchate are fully theologically united, the 14 Patriarchates are: the Patriarchates of Constantinople, Alexandria, Antioch, Jerusalem, Russia, Serbia, Romania, Bulgaria, Georgia, Cyprus, Greece, Poland, Albania, and the Czech and Slovak Republics. Therefore, if one of the Patriarchs says a wrong thing, there are 13 other Patriarchs that will correct him, making the chance of a wrong teaching impossible in the Orthodox Church.
