Well, there was and is a governing authority in the Catholic Church. Protestants teeth have flown off the gears and we now get what we get with them. Like a preacheress who finds a biblical justification for the sanctity of abortions. Could the Presbyterian Church have shut that down fifty years ago? Yes. Instead they are okay with the heresy or they just form another version of their church, and another and another.
But Catholics have taken care of the sanctity of the Word for a millennia and a quarter century.
My bad. Make that two millennia.

Mormons, jeh witness are both, by definition, cults

the standard definition: "A cult is a religion w/o political power"

Mormons have it, so they don't get a lot of public criticism, at least high profile

My favorite definition, from Robert Altman when someone called him a cult director: "What is a cult? Simply not enough people to make up a minority"

Nothing to do w/religion, but John Frankenheimer said about one of his films: "The Manchurian Candidate went from flop to cult classic w/o ever being a success"
