In defense of Protestants who may act in this manner, I think that Catholics tend towards a more contextual and holistic approach, whereas Protestants tend to focus on phrases that have been taught to them first.
What I find most frustrating is that some saying that they aren't interpreting Scripture, but just reading what is said. Interpretation is inherent in reading. We learned that in what, 2nd grade?

Yep, from a former teacher.
