If it's not in the bible does the pope have carte blanche to just make shite up?
The beliefs of the CC are rooted in the Bible and in Church tradition.
Technically, if you believe the Bible is the sole source of Christian belief, then the disciples sure had to "make shite up" in the years following the death and resurrection of Jesus. There was no Bible.

You aren't going to write a letter to the church spelling out the basics of the belief system; you're going to write a letter about the more complicated aspects of some part of the belief system, or because some part of the belief system is being followed incorrectly.

That's why confession, transubstantiation and a ton of other basic Catholic beliefs aren't in the Bible. They didn't need to be, because they were all being followed already and everyone knew about them.
