Parliament did indeed authorise the referendum. What it did not do was the authorise the Government to implement the result of that referendum in whatever way it chose, without further reference back to Parliament. And since one of the core purposes of Brexit is to reassert the sovereignty of the British Parliament over any body, the judgement is reconfirming the people’s will, not contradicting it.
