but, protestants take that as Gospel on the oral tradition of their protestant masters;

Not all of us do:)

I think the problem with so many different denominations comes from what you stated earlier. Not many people actually know what the bible really says.

New denominations are formed, IMO, because someone will come up against something in a church that they don't like regardless of wha the bible says so they go start a new one to uphold what they want the bible to say. You can pretty much make it say what ever you want. Look at the thread right now about Divorce and spousal abuse. Look at all the different intrerprations of those few verses where Jesus talked about divorce.

But if people would read it following the critiria that was meant to be used I think you would alot less differences. Literal, grammatical, historical.
