As to 6 & 7, Orthodoxy believes this power is given to all the bishops who rightly teach The Faith (Matt 18:18).

We would agree. See St. Thomas Becket, for example.

The Bishops have this power in virtue of their office, and hold their office by virtue of their union with St. Peter's See.

"... and hold their office by virtue of their union with St. Peter's See."

How does this work out with Orthodox bishops and Patriarchs from a Latin pov?
