To believe that the Bible is our only source of Christian truth is unbiblical and illogical.
Our Lord founded a Church (Matthew 16:18-19), not a book that was to be the pillar and foundation of truth.
Catholics recognize the Scriptures more apostolic tradition, as manifested in the living magisterium of the Catholic Church, which was assigned to the oral teachings of Jesus and the apostles with the authority to interpret Scripture correctly.

The Bible was formed from the tradition of the Catholic Church, some 400 years after Christ died and rose from the dead. The tradition of previous Chruch to the Bible, and any other authority as the Bible comes from the pre-existent authority of the Catholic Church. There were hundreds of writings about Christ when the Bible was compiled, and the Church (through its priests and bishops) that the selected texts were divinely inspired. When you say that the Church follows the Bible, which is putting the cart before the horse. The Bible is consistent with the Church because the Church before the Bible and from Church tradition that formed the Bible.

You are criticizing what they do not understand. John the Baptist was formed by Catholics? You prefer the words of the commandments written by someone else 100 years ago? Christ said: "whose sins you forgive they are forgiven, whose singing retain, they are retained?"
Each religion has its traditions and practices, some of which come directly from the Bible and some of which do not. If you do not accept the Catholic practices and teachings, then do not follow. But do not criticize what you do not understand. That's not a sign of intelligence, is a sign of ignorance.

My favorite was that Mary was a virgin til Death. Do you know any husbands who put up with that?

if you want to do more research, you find that baptism and the Sabbath are biblical. For other questions, (have them) I seem to talk to Catholic friends who really know the answers is very helpful …

Because the Catholic Church wants power and money. The power to send to heaven or hell if they so wished. Does not it seem odd that believe they have to control. This is why Martin Luther posted his letter on the door. So they sent him to hell when he died, after he rescinded. It seems pretty clear to me. Ever wonder why the book of Thomas was not included in the Bible. The Catholic Church is a religion manipulated. And Paul was the master of manipulation.

Because the Bible is interpreted in different ways and arguments against modern controls should be formulated.

It is not just another religion based on physical things, except the spiritual.
For example, focus on water baptism is immersion, ignoring what Paul wrote, one faith - one baptism, and that is the baptism of the Spirit, not water.
There is nothing "magical" about water baptism. Those who believe the gospel receive the Holy Spirit - Baptism in the Spirit, regardless of whether one suffers water baptism.
