Very good. Therefore, your response —

Oh yeah, those Scriptures...where did he get those again? Oh! Now I know. The One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. Doh!

— was irrelevant. The Roman Catholic Church no more owns, created, nor invented Scripture than it owns, created, nor invented Jesus Christ.

Don't own Sacred Scripture. Didn't create it. Didn't invent it. Did define it.

The Catholic Church in 350 AD declared some of the many writings of the time to be "Divinely Inspired".

Luther was the one that decided that this particular group of inspired writings was the be-all, end-all reference for matters of the Faith. Catholics have a whole Magisterium and thousands of years of Sacred Oral Tradition to draw from.

BTW: Sola Scriptura can be refuted by the fact that no where in the "Bible" does it say that the "Bible" is the sole authority on the Faith and salvation.
