Self-declared authority is meaningless. says the person who declared the Catholic church in error, established her own way of seeking salvation, made up the rules as she went along, denied 2,000 years of history, and can't imagine why everyone doesn't understand.....

Do I say that I am some kind of authority?

That the Catholic church is in error is simply because it can be shown to be in error by comparing it to Scripture, not because on my own say so I declare it to be in error.
