OHHHHH you want the third grade answer? Was that one too precise for you?
Here we go. Just like I teach the eight year olds.
And Jesus answered him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jona! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven. And I tell you, you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, and the powers of death shall not prevail against it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.”
Jesus renamed Simon Bar-Jona to Peter (the word "rock" translated into English)
Peter was the first Pope, the rock, the Church authority.
Apostolic succession is the word you're looking for.
Apostolic authority comes from Jesus to Peter to the next Popes so on and so forth.
Protestants reject the authority of the Pope.
And here you are, you beautiful child of God!
The Catholic faith is not propaganda.
