Is that the best you can do? I didn't think so because there is no Scripture verse that names the Catholic church by name. I am constantly made aware of the vast hypocrisy that the Catholic church and Catholics engage in.

Sola Scriptura is disallowed by Catholics because it doesn't say in Scripture in the words they each individually want to hear, that it is the case.

And yet there are scores of Catholic doctrines, disciplines, teachings, whatever you want to call them, that are not named by name in Scripture that the Catholic church teaches as true.

For example, show me in Scripture where the following Catholic teachings are found by name.

catholic

pope

eucharist

sacraments

annulment

assumption

immaculate conception

mass

purgatory

magisterium

infallible

confirmation

crucifix

rosary

mortal sin

venial sin

perpetual virginity

apostolic succession

indulgences

hyperdulia

catechism

real presence

transubstantiation

liturgy

And then explain to me why exactly, sola Scriptura is not valid.....

Me! I know!!!

Because if they admit Sola Scripture is valid the entire Roman Catholic system goes down the tubes. They like the system as is because it helps them control people and makes their god managable.

And then explain to me why exactly, sola Scriptura is not valid.....

That's easy. Because Scripture doesn't explicitly include by name the above Catholic teachings.
