At present, Nichiren Shoshu seems wholly enveloped by faith in the absolute authority of the high priest. Nichiren Shoshu even went so far as to say that “Even the object of devotion of the essential teaching produces no benefit without faith in the high priest (chief administrator) who alone inherits the heritage of the Law” (Refuting Yumo Matsuoka’s Slanderous “Refutation of Faith in the Absolute Authority of High Priest,” published by Nichiren Shoshu Administrative Office, September 2005, p. 18). The infallibility of the chief administrator is the ultimate Nichiren Shoshu myth.
