Taking the question to its most primative form, without taking into account the doctrinal developments of how the infallibility of the Church as a whole is exercised by certain segments of the Church, would be this:
Do Eastern Catholics believe that the Pope can make a definitive binding doctrinal judgment for the whole Church? Or, in another form, can the Pope condemn a error or heresy for the whole Church? Or can every man judge for himself such decisions?
Or even more basic, does the Pope have the primacy in teaching as well a in government?
At least from the Eastern Catholics I have spoken to it seems the answer to those questions is yes, such judgments do have a binding nature.
