Certainly... as soon as you give me the Bible's official commentary on human cloning.

Do you see my point? I think you misunderstand how the Magisterium works, friend. The charism of infallibility protects the Church from teaching (as formal dogma, binding on all the faithful under pain of heresy/sin) anything that's FALSE--but it doesn't promise an instant encyclopedia of every last possible implication of every last verse. You'd need an infinite number of pages to do that, for one thing! But as you see from the examples of human cloning, in-vitro fertilization, etc., there are some things which the Bible (as well as the Sacred Tradition from which it came, and which predated the NT) can't address until it's invented, or comes into existence. In other words: you're asking for an imaginary thing, if you ask the Church to give you every "positive" interpretation of every verse. The Church occasionally gives a positive interpretation of this-or-that verse, when the need arises... but there's no "infinite encyclopedia" of them, no.

Now, if you'd like to know if there are any ERRORS which the Church of Christ has condemned, those are quite a bit easier to find.
