Lose all moral authority

That's clearly what you're trying to do prevent yourself from doing but you didn't have any moral authority in the first place. You're an incest cultists. The basis of your moral authority is an incest cult.

Hym "And THAT is the reason for THIS. I know I keep saying this but it's clearly multi faceted. If your religion is an incest cult, you lose all moral authority... Therefore, it has to be more than an incest cult. Silence the guy who said it. Steal all of his property so you can justify not platforming me."

third-party authority

A slang term for "external authority", which is commonly imposed by parents, teachers, institutions, and employers to children, teenagers, and younger adults — but not that commonly imposed to seniors old enough to retire

I can't stand how third-party authority controls our lives—parents and teachers are always dictating what we can do, while seniors just chill and enjoy their freedom!

You're not an authority

On what does or does not need to happen. Did or didn't. Should or should not.

Hym "You're not an authority on the text you are invoking. That's what a charlatan does. They make themselves an authority over the text and then they use that authority to purport that said authority supercedes the text or the authorship."

Jackie Weaver

Jackie Weaver – if you recall the dialogue from the jaw-droppingly chaotic parish council meeting – had “no authority” to remove councillors from the meeting. “No authority at all.”
