Is Catholicism based upon traditions of men?

[Largent80]

I would like to know where the rosary, and holy water, and baptism by sprinkeling of water instead of total immursion, praying to Mary, and confessing your sins to a priest, just to name a few. These things are not Biblical.
Please respond, ---- Largent 80 !

Actually they are all Biblical, though the Bible nowhere says that everything Christians believe and practice must be found within it That idea itself really is a modern tradition of men known as Sola Scriptura, and the following links may help clear that up for you.
