Looks like that article says the Catholic church bases it’s claim to authority on the Scripture.

Is that your position?

Certainly Scripture is a critical part. Understand that Scripture as scrip - the written documents - post dated the founding of the Church, at least in regards the New Testament. The Acts of the Apostles are a very important part of the foundational authority of the Universal Apostolic Church. Since the very Church that codified the WRITTEN Acts also was the Church that the Apostles governed, they also had already established the start of what we now call Tradition, which supports the same authority.
