Speaking of those who walked with Our Lord and talked with those who knew the Apostles is something that leads to Grace. Only those afraid would view it as a rabbit hole. Since you are wrong about Catholics and scripture (by now, you would understand the Mass is only scripture in its readings and each prayer ties back to the Old and New Testaments) I’ll leave you with scripture specifically respecting Tradition - especially St Peter’s warning:
2 Tim 3:14, “continue in the things you have learned ...knowing from whom you have learned them.” and “So then brethren, stand firm and hold to the traditions which you were taught, whether by word of mouth or by letter from us”. [2 Thess 2:15; see 1 Cor 11:2] Finally - 2 Peter 3:15-16 King James Version (KJV)

“And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;

As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.”

Please prove from an infallible source that what the Catholic Church calls "tradition" is exactly what the apostles taught when they said "tradition". I would hate to think they are just lying to you about that. Surely they have given proof that what they teach is what the apostles taught right? After all, Paul said anyone who teaches what they didn't was to be considered accursed. Your not teaching something they didn't teach are you?
