so many words, trying to make up for content by quantity.
if i understood this long winded statement, no one has the authority to declare the canon infallibly.
You didn't, because you made a fallible human decision to trust in a self-proclaimed assuredly infallible magisterium of Rome, as if it were God (who alone is assuredly infallible), and placed your faith in its asserted infallible decrees as infallibly determining Truth — provided you judge each teaching correctly as being infallible among the multitude of potential ones, and interpret them likewise (there is even confusion whether all of Trent was infallible, or what version of the Vulgate referred to as the authentic translation — rather than the means by which true believers were persuaded of the veracity of teachings and spiritual authenticity of men from of old, even before there was a church in Rome, which exalts itself above all, and many who who are only born of the flesh look to her as to God.

Acts 12:23 Immediately, because Herod did not give praise to God, an angel of the Lord struck him down, and he was eaten by worms and died.
