When was the first bible published? How is this relevant? We know the NT was written between 50 and 100 AD, long before the Catholic Church was around. What matters is what the apostles actually wrote. The teachings of purgatory, indulgences etc were created by the Catholic Church and did not originate with the teachings of the Apostles.

You say that you do not understand Sola Scriptura. It is quite simple. The Word of God is the ultimate authority. How can the words of the Pope who is a mere man be made equal to God's word? It is impossible.

2 Tim 3:16-17
16All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

The Apostle Paul makes it clear that the Word of God teaches the Christian what we need to know and thoroughly equips us.
