What it has to do with this, is that you're posing a question as to whether Christianity can exist without the Bible. That has drawn the attention of a Catholic who fancies your question a favorable thing toward an infallible Magisterium, which carries more weight with Catholics than does the Bible alone.

The Bible alone, Sola Scriptura, is a tenet of Protestantism. All is to be tested by scripture. If a doctrine or belief does not find support in scripture, then it is not an acceptable doctrine or belief. This means that any number of Catholic traditions are unacceptable to Protestants, because these traditions fail when being tested by scripture.

>>Correction. They fail when being tested by private interpretations of scripture.
