This page groups organizations by how much authority they actually hold. Wikipedia notes that such bodies often take on "the formation, nomination or appointment of religious leaders, the establishment of a corpus of doctrine, the disciplining of leaders and followers with respect to religious law, and the determination of qualification for membership." Browsing this way lets a visitor compare an organization with broad doctrinal authority against one with only a narrow administrative role.
