The catholic church practices exactly what the apostles taught. Read up on it. Read the writings of those the apostles anointed (Ignatius of Antioch, anointed by John the Apostle, for instance).
This idea that for 1500 years the only way to be a Christian was the wrong way and that protestants finally figured out the right way to practice christianity is preposterous nonsense.

False. Ignatius of Antioch, appointed by John the Apostle. Read some of his writings.
The early church was Catholic. The teachings of the Catholic church are the same all the way back to Christ. The sacraments!
When was the new testament written?
(after all these things had already been established)
The interpretation of scripture in the way the objections you have outlined indicate, did not exist until about 1600 years after Christ ascended.
The interpretation you espouse is literally a different gospel than the gospels.
Jesus didn’t leave us a bible. He left us a church. Through the authority Christ gave His Church, the Bible was written and declared the Word of God
BY THE CATHOLIC CHURCH.
