It’s a very common thing with sects and certain teachings. Take communism, in the USSR, Lenin was always right. If people knew his mistakes, then the same people would start questioning Lenin’s teaching.

There are similarities between exclusive systems and totalitarian regimes. Both held their people in intense fear, to the point where they would dare not express an opinion. Both elevated their founders to the status of demigods, while negating the contributions of others. Both boasted in the unity or oneness of their system.
Commies would regularly disparage the results of democratic elections, boasting that theirs were always unanimous decisions.
