Any ecclesiastical organization or any prophetic person who claims exclusive knowledge of higher things, exclusive communication with heavenly spheres, goes beyond whatever real mandate of authority it possesses. None has the right to make such a claim. Instead of honouring the organization, the latter is dishonoured by it, by its arrogance and falsity.
