Here’s the thing. Christ left a Church not a book and put his Apostles in charge of spreading his Word. Only later did the Church compile an official Bible from various writings. So when you ask what about all of these things that aren’t in the Bible imagine the early Christians before the Bible? Were they not real Christians?
The amazing thing about the Catholic Church is it’s still here even with all of our truly awful leaders. It still officially teaches the truth even with all of its sinful clergy.
Wrong. Whenever the Church spread the Gospel it looked for parts of peoples culture that aligned with the Truth that is written by God on all peoples hearts. Customs that didn’t violate God’s teachings were acceptable.

Catholic Church teaches paganism under the guise of the Christ.
Catholicism was a mash up of all pagan Roman religions to get everyone to stop arguing.

In contrast, Yeshua/Jesus said the complete opposite-
Matthew 15:9
But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
The Roman Catholic Church teaches tradition is more important than the Word of God, and also claims they alone can properly interpret the Word of God.
Mainstream western Christian culture worships a tree and a fat man dressed in red. Just one examples of many.
Pretty accurate, council of Nicaea blah blah blah except there were godly people around too (monotheists other than Jews)
