What essential thing(s) does Rome give you that are NOT found in the Bible?
Oversimplifying for the sake of illustration, you treat the Bible as the Mormons do their book, in that it was dug up somewhere, and everything came into play all at once. The books of the Bible took a couple of centuries to be decided upon, and there of course was a church, established by Christ Himself, to determine what was inspired. “If I were to record all that took place, not all the books covering the world could contain all that I witnessed” said the apostle John. The Bible cannot be operated on “automatic pilot”; no, it came into a community of believers who had already established a liturgy, practice, and theology.
