Regarding matters of spiritual signifigance.....yep. I follow the council of the Prophet. If he says that we should be prepared and live within our means...then I strive to do that. If he says that pornography destroys lives and is a pernicious evil and should be avoided...I trust that he is correct. If he says that purple ties should always be worn on Thurdays...then not so much. We do have an ecclesiastical heirarchy in the church. Other churches do as well. In matters related to the Spirit we rely on our leaders for guidance. If I have been commiting some very serious sins like adultry.....I would confess to my Bishop and rely on his authority as a representative of Christ through the keys of Priesthood authority that he holds to guide me through the process of repentance. I am guessing Catholics are very similar as are other churches. Make sense?
