The reality of Denominationalism disproves sola Scriptura and it's necessary corollaries of perspicuity (clarity) and private judgment.You just cut off the limb you're sitting on. If sola Scriptura must be rejected for failing to keep unity, so must the Papacy and the Magisterium. If your authority can't keep "a bunch of them from up and leaving" (or something like that), as another Catholic poster described the reformation (I don't remember the screen name and haven't got enough time to look, but feel free to ping her yourself), what room do you have to criticize my authority (which is the Bible) because it can't keep people from up and leaving? None, that's how much.
All the major heresies relied on the principle of sola Scriptura.
Montanism. Mormonism. Moonies. JWs.

(A) The Papacy and the Magisterium don't rely on sola Scriptura and (B) the Papacy and the Magisterium don't lead to error, so I must confess I don't see your point.

You've misunderstood my argument, and for that I apologize. It is not about people leaving, but about people misunderstanding.
