I reject this blanket characterization of religious organizations, but anyway the Eastern / Greek Orthodox Church is interesting here because it descends directly from the original Greek speaking Christians in the Eastern Roman empire when the Bible was written.
It's like asking a Jew about translating the Torah - it's about historical continuity and subject matter expertise.

A better example would be a centralized rabbinic authority, which hasn't existed since the fall of ancient Israel. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanhedrin https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanhedrin
