“...just how much they were teaching that wasn’t in Scripture...” “errors in theology.”
Catholicism is entirely correct in NOT limiting its teaching to Scripture alone.
Scripture was always meant to be in addition to Tradition, especially the Tradition of the Eucharist, which has always been the proper way for the actual Christian Worship of Jesus, in His words, found in John 6.
Worship without the Eucharist is dead. Reading a book is not worship.
The very first early Christian martyrs were Catholic and ALWAYS celebrated the Eucharist. There is written historical proof of this.
For example: The early martyr St. Ignatius wrote in his letter to the Church at Smyrna on his way to be martyred specifically referring to the Eucharist:
“...they do not confess that the Eucharist is the flesh of our Savior Jesus Christ...Shun division as the beginning of evil.”
This was written in around 80 A.D. and St. Ignatius was clearly a true Christian since he was martyred for his Catholic beliefs.
Sola Scriptura is not biblical. All scripture is beneficial, sure, but not only scripture.
The bible does not definitively state that Sacred Tradition ceased and that it alone now is authoritative and reading is the correct way to worship.
Martin Luther himself retained the Tradition of the Eucharist - it was later protestants who denied it.
This one.
John 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

Then give infallible proof that the apostles taught the assumption of Mary.
Galatians 1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed
And yet we have NOBLE Bereans, who...
The Bible doesn't even say when *sacred tradition* began.
How then can it say that something that doesn't exist ceased?
Interesting that the word *Bible* in your post is not capitalized, and yet the term *Sacred Tradition* is.
It is endemic amongst Catholics to not capitalize the name Bible.
Why is that?
Give us the Scripture references to show us that Scripture is to be subservient to tradition.
Gee, so all those OT people didn't worship, eh?
Do you know what kinds of worship there are as taught in Scripture?
It's far more than *worshiping* a wheat wafer.
