How can someone say that they believe the Bible, yet not accept the authority of the Roman Catholic church?
The Bible is their product. To say that you believe the Bible only, is like saying that you accept only one small part of the church.
The trouble is they don't believe the bible Oz, the bible says "hear ye him"(the beloved son), they say hear what the bible says.... translated .... listen to what i think it is saying. They believe Jesus is in the bible, when the bible says he is in us. 2 Cor 13:5
“His name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace” (Isaiah 9:6).
“And this is His name by which He shall be called, YHWH, OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS” (Jeremiah 23:5-6; 33:15-16).
The thing that Judaism understands has eluded Christianity entirely: The spirit of God is found in mankind. Not just one imaginary man and his superstitious followers.

The overwhelming majority of Protestants DO accept the authority of the Roman Catholic Church. Every time they acknowledge Sunday as 'the Sabbath day' they are falling in line with a major RCC tenet. The RCC changed the solemnity of the initial Creation Sabbath (the 7th-day) to the first-day because it (the RCC) 'has the divine authority to do so'. And, the so-called 'protesters' () agreed with them.
So, the next time you attend your local church on 'the Sabbath' you can thank the RCC for having changed the 4th-command of the Big Ten ...simply because they can!

Well thank God the SDA's reverted back to the Saturday Sabbath day then.
But on the OP, it is quite an over the top statement and un-Catholic in many ways.
Unlike hardline Fundamentalists views, the reality is all can be saved.
It's almost impossible to convince a RC there wrong in most of there beliefs / Dictrine . I recently had a long debate / discussion with one . I for the life of me could not convince her there ideas of Mary being sinless was wrong ! Even when I showed her the scripture about non are sinless and have fallen short of Gods Glory.
They are absolutely convinced , there right and everyone else is wrong .
They are well endoctrinated !
That quote alone won't convince or convert most Catholics.
It would need to say "including Mary" to be relevant, as Catholics don't look at the bible as a collection of out of context quotes, and anecdotes like this.

Actually, the Protestant stance is that the Sabbath is Jesus and we rest in Him. Everyday is worship day, or it should be.
As far as the RCC, if you confess and turn away from your sins and put your faith in the true God Jesus, you will have etrnal life. It doesn’t matter if you are Protestant, RC, or other. Can I get an amen?
But I would wish the Rc body would rise up and kick that pope in the seat out of office and get someone who is believes in Scripture to run the church.
