Why follow the Catholic way of Interpretation?

God chose the people of Israel and appointed Moses as his representative and their leader. All instructions were given through him and he was also given authority over the people. After the death of Moses this leadership and authority was passed on to Joshua, and subsequently on to the Judges, the Kings, and the High Priests. The book of Isaiah also mentions about the role of the prime minister who had total control in the absence of the King. Hence the chosen people always had a leader who represented God and who was given authority.

In line with this tradition Jesus appointed Simon Peter who was one of the apostles as leader over his followers or his church and also gave him authority (see Mathew 16:18-19). After the death of Simon Peter the leadership and authority was passed on to one of the apostles. This succession continues and is called the Apostolic Succession. This leader came to be known as the Pope and the church as the Catholic Church. The term "Catholic" is derived from the Greek word καθολικός (katholikos), which means "universal".
                                                                                                                                              
In the 16th century (1517) a Catholic priest from Germany named Martin Luther voiced certain differences called ’the Ninety-Five Theses’ regarding certain teachings and practices of the Catholic Church. As the differences could not be resolved amicably he formed a breakaway church which was called the Protestant Church. Within a  few years the differences within the Protestant Church went on increasing leading to more and more divisions. Each person claimed that his interpretation alone was the right one. These divided groups came to be called as Protestant denominations (such as the Lutheran, the Reformed, the Puritans, the Presbyterian, the Anglicans etc.). Today the number of denominations has become in excess of 30,000 and the division is still going on. Meanwhile the Catholic Church not only survives but has grown in number and unity. All differences within the Catholic Church are resolved at the meetings of the apostles or bishops and these meetings are called the Church Councils.
