The Bible texts are not authoritative because they are recognized by the Church, but rather the Church recognizes them because the texts themselves are authoritative. Scripture is always revealed to you through an existing tradition though.

Holy Scripture is eternal, unchanging, sufficient, and absolute.

Traditions are just living interpretations of Scripture that evolve over time while maintaining a core pattern.

For example:

• Atheist tradition disregards Holy Scripture.

• Muslim tradition holds that the original texts of Holy Scripture were corrupted. (Marcion)

• Catholic tradition asserts an infallible authority in interpreting Scripture.

• Orthodox tradition emphasizes the infallibility of communal, conciliar decisions in interpreting Scripture.

• Hyper-Dispensational tradition interprets Scripture through the lens of distinct dispensations of God's management of humanity.

• Lutheran tradition views Scripture through the dichotomy of Law versus Gospel.

Each tradition reflects a group of people's response to Scripture, shaped by their historical, cultural, and theological contexts. But Jesus said the commandments of God should not be forsaken for human traditions (Mark 7:1-13). Even though the Pharisees in the Old Testament had succession from Moses, claimed infallibility, and had real authority, Jesus still said we should test their traditions by the Word of God. Paul was excited to see the Bereans test his teachings against holy scripture because scripture is the ultimate source of truth from which all else must be subordinate.

Here is a clip of Dr. Steven Nemes explaining the same topic, probably better than I did:
