By us Rabbonim, Gedolei Torah are held in the highest esteem, their word is the word of G-D. And is Daas Torah. For that is what HaShem told us to do!!! HaShem wouldn’t have told us to listen to them if He didn’t want us to. Our Gedolim are not Nevi’im. They were not meant to be. They are much greater. AND WE ARE BIDDEN LO LISTEN TO THEM!!
And, so, I ask you a question that was asked of another member years ago:
If you saw a Gadol lift a piece of meat out of a pig with your own eyes and roast it, put it on a plate and hand it to you and said, “It’s kosher, eat it,” would you do so?
