[.. Yet Protestants deny the authority of the Church to interpret scripture! ..]

Not true.. "some/a church" has the authority to interpret scripture wrongly if they must.. they just cannot interpret it for everybody.. Thats WHY the Holy Spirit is needed.. but IF "that" church is NOT lead by the Holy Spirit, well then.. ERROR could and most likely will happen.. Churchs have difficultly admitted gross error.. for it tends to makes their forefathers look like idiots.. when they were not idiots at all they just never knew or in some caes maybe cared to know the Holy Spirit..

Happens a lot in places where the organization is called "THE church" instead of "A church".. There... continuous hierarchy trumps truth.. That church then becomes a hive with drones instead of a flock with sheep.. Being drones they could care less whether they are insects or sheep.. Visit a church and you tell after awhile wether they are a HIVE or a flock.. At least a sheep can..

Maybe God made bees, ants, termites and wasps as a metaphorical object lesson to sheep.. probably did..
