It really is a logical fail to believe the Church exercised it’s authority to establish a canon that says the Church does not have the authority to establish the canon.

What's not logical at all though, is for the Catholic church to claim that it wrote Scripture, which it didn't, and thereby claim that if one accepts Scripture as authoritative, one by default accepts the the Catholic church as authoritative.

With all that the Catholic Church claims for itself I’m wondering how soon it will be that someone from within that organization actually claims to be God or proclaims some human as God.

Forget logic. God is beyond our understanding. The Church preceded the New Testament.
