That is the problem with these quasi-ecclesiastical/parachurch organizations. They are operating within the ecclesiastical sphere, and so, in order to function, they need to arrogate to themselves certain prerogatives of the Church.
If they want to do it properly they must do it within the jurisdiction of the Church, or else they should give up the fiction of holding a high view of the Church.
