I think this is called a "red herring."

Still no answer from any Protestant regarding the authority that acted infallibly in determining the canon of Scripture.

If Bergoglio decided to banish the Pauline epistles from the Bible what would your response be? Does he possess that authority?

Or what if a council were held, let’s call it Vatican III, and the council decreed that the canon no longer included the Genesis because it’s so controversial and archaic in light of modern science. Would they have that infallible authority? Would you accept that decision?

Is the Catechism of the Catholic Church infallible? Do you accept it in full? After all it was prepared by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith under the direction of then Cardinal Ratzinger and approved personally by Pope John Paul II.

I both answered your question and then illustrated it appropriately.

God is the ONLY infallible authority that exists in heaven or on earth.

The authority you are clacking is as infallible as Balaam’s donkey.

...and ranks up there with the rooster who believes his crowing causes the sun to rise.

Still no answer from any Catholic regarding the authority that acted infallibly in determining the canon of OLD TESTEMENT Scripture.

For me, it is pretty simple...God of course is the authority...God gave his oracles to the Jews, his chosen people...Those Jews, the Levites specifically were charged with safekeeping those oracles...They had the authority you are referring to...Those Jews knew what was from God and what wasn't...Your Catholic bible for example...The Jews wouldn't touch them...

So that eliminates anything Catholic right from the starting line...
