"Seriously, who cares about what the authorities says? I thought that ship sailed long ago?"

All the major religions are alive and well, and have billions of believers who care very, very much about what their authorities say.

I don't think so, they usually follow local spiritual leaders. That's why no issue is ever resolved by their authorities, they keep fighting and dividing all the time.

Whoever they follow, those are their authorities.

"That's why no issue is ever resolved by their authorities, they keep fighting and dividing all the time."

They fight because their authorities tell them to.

Authority is NOT a synonym for a leader or a consultant.

There are some glaring counter examples to your assertion.

The Catholic Church is the largest sect of Christianity, the largest religion. Protestantism (typically a smaller, more local organization) is actually a smaller branch, but has many megachurches.
