You have it backward. The Church does not derive it's authority from Scripture; Scripture derives it's authority from the Church. just......
wow......
The brainwashing is complete.
I guess Jesus didn't know what He was doing when He stated *It is written* as the final authority BEFORE the Catholic church came into existence. Eh?

Moses spent several periods of 40 days in supernatural communion with God. Then he taught the Jewish people for 40 years before he wrote scrolls for them to have a permanent ‘Cliff Notes’ of what he had taught them.
The Church, claiming to be the successor of Jesus (who it is claimed succeeded Moses) follows the pattern of Moses: First the teaching, then the written reminder.
