“Protestants also have no obligatory Sunday Mass, no holy days of obligation, no first Holy Communion, no obligatory Confirmation, no Holy Communion at least once a year, no confession ever, no penances, no Lenten fast, no Advent time, no abstinence from meat, no divorce-remarry, no nuns, no rosary and no Stations of the Cross.”

As coincidentally, neither does the Bible.

Jesus gave Peter the authority to "loose" and "bind" on earth and in heaven. That authority has passed down through the ages to his papal successors.

The Bible doesn't have anything on birth control, anabolic steroids, hallucinatory drugs, in vitro fertilization and a host of other "modern" things but the successor of Peter still has the authority to "loose" and "bind" on earth and in heaven.
Some Christians marry, divorce and remarry. That isn't allowed by the Bible but it's still done. It's still not allowed by Catholicism.
