I think this is also the case with some in the Roman Catholic church…

Catholics are not Sola Scriptura.
Also, to be a Catholic, at least in my eyes, one must believe what the Church Teaches, as the Church Teaches that women can not be ordained, those who believe otherwise, while they may make a claim at being Catholic, are not being true to the Catholic Church and are not Catholics (again in my eyes).

This is what God has to say about your question. Only a Catholic would come up with such a poll.
All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work. - 2 Tim
For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope. May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to live in such harmony with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus, that together you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God.

Maybe it’s because the Catholic can see the truth that the adherent to Sola Scriptura is blind to . . .This is what God has to say about your question. Only a Catholic would come up with such a poll.
Remember - it takes great faith to believe in everything Jesus taught, including Ecclesiatical Authority and the Real Presence.
**Many so-called Believers just don’t have that kind of faith . . .

Ummm - you conveniently left out a few verses that put yours into perspective - so I’ll assist you:
Matt. 18:15-18
**"If your brother sins (against you), go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have won over your brother. **
**If he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, so that ‘every fact may be established on the testimony of two or three witnesses.’ **
If he refuses to listen to them, tell the church. If he refuses to listen even to the church, then treat him as you would a Gentile or a tax collector.
Amen, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
1 Tim. 3:15
But if I should be delayed, you should know how to behave in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of truth.
2 Thess. 2:15
Therefore, brothers, stand firm and hold fast to the traditions that you were taught, either by an oral statement or by a letter of ours.
1 Cor. 11:2
"I commend you because you remember me in everything and maintain the traditions even as I have delivered them to you".

**True - but the *difference *is, the Catholic Church has God-given Authority to put these renegade opinions to rest. **
Because of the error of Sola Scriptura, the only recourse most Protestant denominations have is further splintering . . .
