John 21:25 Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition 25 But there are also many other things which Jesus did; were every one of them to be written, I suppose that the world itself could not contain the books that would be written.

According to Catholic Answers Magazine, Jesus did not command the apostles to write down everything he had taught them. Instead, he commanded them to teach it. Much of this teaching later made its way into Sacred Scripture, but every bit of it was and still is considered Sacred Tradition.

Therefore so called man made ceromonies are acutally teachings that jesus gave to his apostles and carried on by the church as sacred tradition.

That’s a very convenient way to incorporate any teaching you want into the church isn’t it? This is how we get such blasphemous teachings like;
Mary was sinless, Mary ascended into heaven, Mary is a co-medeatrix with Jesus, etc.

I don’t see anything in the passage saying because it wasn’t written down we must still take it as gospel if the RCC deems it so.
I for one believe that God could preserve exactly what he wanted us to know within the pages of scripture.
