Actually RCs have a great deal of liberty to interpret the Bible within the wide parameters of RC teaching, and are more liberal in their understanding of it than evangelicals. Look at even some of the notes in the approved NAB plus much of the study helps in study versions.

I cordially disagree.

The former has been well evidenced here, and as there is no official complete RC commentary on all the Bible with all its verses, then as RC apologist Jimmy Akin at Catholic Answers stated,

"The liberty of the Scripture interpreter remains extensive. Taking due consideration of the factors that influence proper exegesis, the Catholic Bible interpreter has the liberty to adopt any interpretation of a passage that is not excluded with certainty by other passages of Scripture, by the judgment of the magisterium, by the Church Fathers, or by the analogy of faith. That is a great deal of liberty, as only a few interpretations will be excluded with certainty by any of the four factors circumscribing the interpreter’s liberty”

In addition, your bare denial means you even disagree with the documented facts of liberal notes and study helps that have been taught for decades in Romes NAB.
