Who are we to argue with God? Would you feel more comfortable in a nice stained glass Church with graven images filled with people? The Apostles did not have such luxuries.
Can everyone have their own religious theology or interpretation?
Is. 1:18 "Come let us reason together" Says the Lord. Did you miss the part where He said He would send His Comforter (Holy Spirit)? Do you have a personal relationship with Jesus or is it more of a communal ritual thing? Yes, you can go with the crowd along the broad and easy path but the Apostles had a more lonely narrow one to travel.
I always get a chuckle when a catholic uses the ‘sola scriptura’ accusation. I read books. Sometimes I would love to have the author for an assist now and then when I read the occasional hard read. There is no such thing as ‘sola scriptura’ because once you’re born from above you have the author to help with the meaning you need.

Jesus said his Church would be “the light of the world.” He then noted that “a city set on a hill cannot be hid” (Matt. 5:14). This means his Church is a visible organization. It must have characteristics that clearly identify it and that distinguish it from other churches. Jesus promised, “I will build my Church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it” (Matt. 16:18). This means that his Church will never be destroyed and will never fall away from him. His Church will survive until his return.
Some Christians claim, “The Bible is all I need,” but this notion is not taught in the Bible itself. In fact, the Bible teaches the contrary idea (2 Pet. 1:20–21, 3:15–16). The “Bible alone” theory was not believed by anyone in the early Church.
Jesus promised he would not leave us orphans (John 14:18) but would send the Holy Spirit to guide and protect us (John 15:26). He gave the sacraments to heal, feed, and strengthen us. The seven sacraments —baptism, the Eucharist, penance (also called reconciliation or confession), confirmation, holy orders, matrimony, and the anointing of the sick—are not just symbols. They are signs that actually convey God’s grace and love.
