After we show you where the Church gets Her authority you then come back to note that the titles given to the referenced discussions don't mention Christ, just His Church. If you had actually read the links, you would see that Christ is mentioned as the source of the Church's authority throughout the arguments.
There is nothing to be gained in engaging you in conversation. You simply want to snipe and trap.
Only one small problem:
There was no HER to give authority to.
You guys sound like the Russians of old who claimed, retroactively, that all good inventions were made by Russians.
The only problem was...
History books.
Instead you ranted on and on....as is typical to avoid what your links have clearly revealed which I as clearly stated. .... Further you added in this post that it's about “ this authority given Her by Christ Himself”.....once again showing that it's not about the Centrality of Jesus Christ, as Head of the body of believers in the catholic church, but “Something Else” has the authority Only HE alone has...
Jesus does not share His headship ...it is His and His alone. ALL authority is given TO HIM above all others.
Matthew 28:18 “All AUTHORITY is given unto me in heaven and earth” Philippians 2:10 ....“that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,.. in *heaven and on earth and under the earth*... and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.”

Abominable falsehood!
Yeshua has no church! He has only the assembly that his Father gave him, which dates back to Abraham.
Matthew 16:18 speaks not of a ‘church’ but of that assembly that he would expand on the professed faith of his apostles.
Catholicism is built upon the Nicolaitanism for which Yeshua declared his hatred.
