Every one of your corroborating quotes is from a Catholic and even then you misrepresent or have misinterpreted what they say. No where in any of those sources or in the Scripture does is say ONLY Scripture. That is a Protestant confabulation.
I have to question the motivations of those failed Catholics who spend so much of their time and energy attacking the Church like some kind of jilted ex-lover. It is an unhealthy preoccupation and is very revealing that they would spend so much time trying to reduce the Church instead of elevating God. It is the reason that the anti-Catholics have to come to Catholic threads to pick fights and spread slanders. Catholics for the most part don't give a damn about what is said on Protestant and other such goofy theology threads, preferring instead to concentrate on the truth.

I was not a failed Catholic..I was a very successful one LOL..Educated in catholic schools through college, served on church committees, taught CCD, Lectored, gave talks on Catholic women's retreats....But then I was found by one I had not sought
A shining statement to God in this muck and mire. Thank you, sir.
