I do understand and I do agree with your comment of the RCC being established in 1054.
I AM saying that anything the church says which it says is doctrine - which is not found in the Bible is a doctrine of men and THAT is the problem.
From the Catholic Catechism
The Catholic Church says...……..
"The apostles left bishops as their successors. They gave them their own position of teaching authority.'" (Par. 77).
"This living transmission, accomplished through the Holy Spirit, is called tradition . . . " (Par. 78).
"Both Scripture and Tradition must be accepted and honored with equal sentiments of devotion and reverence." (Par. 82).
Within the Catholic scope of Tradition, many doctrines have been "revealed" to the Church over the centuries. For example, there is the veneration of Mary
her immaculate conception
her bodily assumption into heaven.
There is also the Apocrypha,
transubstantiation,
praying to saints,
the confessional,
penance,
purgatory, just to name a few.
Protestantism as a whole differs with Catholicism in these additions.
It is not enough to simply say that Sacred Tradition is equal to Scripture based upon the decree of the Catholic Magisterium. Like any spiritual teaching, It must compare it to the Bible.
Matt. 15:1-6.
"Then some Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem, saying, 2"Why do Your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat bread." 3And He answered and said to them, "And why do you yourselves transgress the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition? 4"For God said, Honor your father and mother,' and, He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him be put to death.' 5"But you say, Whoever shall say to his father or mother, "Anything of mine you might have been helped by has been given to God," 6he is not to honor his father or his mother.' And thus you invalidated the word of God for the sake of your tradition."
Whatever might be said about this passage, at least one thing must be observed: The tradition of the religious leaders was subject to the Word of God. Are the religious leaders of the Catholic Church exempt from subjection to the Word of God? And likewise, is their Sacred Tradition also exempt? I think not.

I can hardly believe that you are makeing these claims my brother.
The Bible says that Enoch and Elijah did not die. We accept that by faith in the Word of God.
The bible DOES NOT SAY that Mary DID NOT DIE now does it?????
1 Corth. 15:22...……...
"For as in Adam all die, (Physically) so also in Christ shall all be made alive."(Spiritually).
