Catholics don't limit the deposit of faith to what is explicitly found in the Bible, but it seems you do. With that in mind, you can't justify even reading the Bible, since the Bible doesn't indicate what books were inspired. Scripture doesn't even prophecy the Bible - but it does prophecy Mary in Genesis, Isaiah, etc.
It's kind of amusing to watch people try to imprison the entirety of salvation to Scripture that didn't exist for decades after Christ's death. All things in Scripture are infallible, yet they are not the only things that are infallible. If they are the only things that are infallible, and the Apostles were teaching a Gospel without the aid of Scripture, then their errors could have been manifold. If you say, "no", the preaching of the Gospel was infallible by protection of the Holy Spirit, then there is nothing in Scripture which indicates that the Holy Spirit put an end to the efficacy of oral tradition.

Is that why Catholics don't read the bible very much and honor it so little? The bible is just weak isn't it? It doesn't define itself and it doesn't say what you want it to say about Mary. It's incomplete and it's interpretation can only be done by a select few people that abstain from sex. I am starting to understand why discussing Scripture with RC's always seems so pointless and always leaves me trying to defend my faith in the Word of God.
