God is so STINGY with His forgiveness, He won't forgive anybody who doesn't get it JUST RIGHT!
However, it didn't take long for God's complete and perfect Gospel message to be corrupted by religious leaders. These men, who say they speak for God, have distorted and perverted this good news of God's mercy and grace.
Jesus was so stupid, He didn't make provision to protect billions and billions of people from getting His message ALL WRONG and therefore going to HELL!
Reaching those who are being held captive by religious indoctrination must always begin by establishing the Bible as the supreme authority for knowing God's Gospel.
Which is why Jesus never once mentioned to any of his disciples that they should WRITE? Not once. He instructed them to teach and to baptize, but never mentioned writing anything. That's peculiar, if their WRITINGS are the ONLY way for people to know the gospel.
If it is true that ONLY Scripture is the source of truth about God, then necessarily that doctrine must be found in Scripture. (If it's not in Scripture, then it's a human tradition.)
It is not in Scripture. Therefore, it's an extra-biblical tradition. Which means that the doctrine of sola scriptura, not being in Scripture, is self-contradictory.
Each Catholic is taught that their [sic] salvation is utterly dependent upon the ministry of their priests.
False.
Bible is a book by men. Some of the Bible contains some hard core propaganda. The Devil quotes the Bible.
Know the Bible but listen to your heart.
Mat 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
Mat 7:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
(e-Sword:KJV)

Mat 23:15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.
If it is true that ONLY Scripture is the source of truth about God [...]
The OP did not say 'ONLY', nor does sola-scriptura. 'Supreme authority' is not 'only'. Try again.
I think you cavil a bit finely when you complain that Jesus “never told a disciple to write.” And so? Jesus also never told a disciple not to engage in buggery, either. What we see in our modern bible is a small but adequate sample of a biography which could easily fill an encyclopedia. In general, “Go and make disciples” would entail writing when that was the medium that made sense. And it turns out that some of those disciples are made through the writings, centuries after the writings. The writings fulfill their purpose.

What is it that so disturbs unbelievers about some Christians? Why are the nations in an uproar and why are people devising vain things? (Psa. 2:1-2). It happened with Jesus. Repeatedly the Pharisees were enraged at his words and actions (Mark 2:16, 3:6, 12:13; John 8:59, 10:31). It happened with Stephen as he made his defence before the Sanhedrin. They stoned him to death (Acts 7:54-60). It happened repeatedly to Paul. Everywhere he went, especially on his first missionary journey, he was beaten and jailed (Acts 13, 14). Jesus told us to expect it (John 15:19). So did Paul (2 Tim. 3:12).
Amen
They were trying to be "religious" and religion is sinful in that it sets standards/rituals/rites that folks "need follow" to be "good" members.
