But who decides what counts as the written Word of God? And what those words mean?

You are talking to the wrong guy - I dispute the very idea of canon as being a Roman invention. And the Spirit tells me what He will.

The Spirit always speaks through a human agent. Someone wrote these books. Someone else decided they were inspired. The Bible is a product of the Holy Tradition, which is the Holy Spirit working through the church at large. The role of the papacy in this has been a minor one, that of a custodian.
