For all those who rely on the Bible as their “sole authority,” realize that you are still relying on the Catholic Church. It was the Catholic Church that definitively resolved which of many spiritual writings in circulation in the early period of Christian history were in fact the Word of God, and therefore belonged in the Bible (New Testament).
Then why are so many Catholic rituals and traditions unbiblical? Is it because they evolved and developed a life of their own?

That is what I think happened. I’ve seen stuff creep into protestant churches as well. Take that powder blue “christan flag” complete with pledge. ;)
I’m sure those that started it meant well, nevertheless...

Let’s see what rituals and traditions you have — do you believe in talking in tongues? What about double predestination?
