In the magical world of every 3 year old, there should be no difference between what they want it to be and what it actually is. When there is a discrepancy, they either claim that there actually isn't one, or else they stamp their feet and wail loudly that life isn't faaaaaaiiiiirrrrrrrr.........
Although they rail agains the authority of the Church, as I said in an earlier post it, really comes down not to authority but obedience and the different interpretations of that term.
Like the three-year-olds you referred to, Protestants maintain a self centered view of the world and see obedience as a degrading concept, like a dog responding to its masters commands and "protest" against Church authority.
Catholics, on the other hand, are called to obey Church authority and happily do so because we know definition of obey is not blind subservience. Our Catechism defines it as (CCC-144) "To obey (from the Latin ob-audire, to "hear or listen to") in faith is to submit freely to the word that has been heard, because its truth is guaranteed by God, who is Truth.
So every time any Protestant slams the Magisterium and insists that everything spiritual must be extracted explicitly from Scripture, while relying on cheap imitations of a magisterium in the form of sermons from the the Rev. Billy-Bob Rolex, Bible College courses, banned websites and comic books, Reformist catechisms and treatises, we see the lie.
