The question

When two groups of Orthodox disagree, who can settle their dispute?

The answer

When two Orthodox disagree, the matter is discussed and settled in the Holy Synod which is a council made up of all the bishops of the Church and presided by the Pope, not as superior or infallible but as an equal to the bishops.
