Your syllogism is flawed. Since the Church received its authority from God no higher authority is possible or necessary. Scripture itself is not God. Scripture, like the Holy Tradition and the Church draws its authority directly from God. pt: You have it backward. The Church does not derive it's authority from Scripture; Scripture derives it's authority from the Church.
Just when you think you've heard it all.

Just when you think you've heard it all. I hear much wailing and gnashing of teeth, but nothing coming out of you that confutes from Scripture.

That was a new one for me also but it fits in with the thinking of the RCs.
