Protestantism’s problem is not the pope it’s the authority of the church which Christ explicitly granted to the church alone.

Got any scripture to back that up, or are you just relying on 'tradition'?

The authority in the Church rests in apostolic commission (succession), in the office of a bishop. Neither Protestants nor Baptists do not have valid clergy.
