The valid central authority is Christ himself.

Throughout history, the repeated attempts to centralize power into the hands of one human figurehead has always produced catastrophic consequences.

To err is human, and leaving all eggs in on basket is not prudent. God told us to love our neighbors, he never told us to trust them.

One more thing: why did Rome crowned Charlemagne Holy Roman Emperor when it had not been part of the Roman Empire for 400 years after falling to barbarian raids?

If Christ flipped the table on the priestly class of the old Hebrews and picked up a fisherman and other social outcasts to be his apostles, he couldn't possibly have meant his church to be led by another previledged priestly class who are anything but social outcasts.
