Who is it that decides the meaning and interpretation of scripture for Catholics?

For Cartholics and for all Christians, -- the Chair of St. Peter.

But I [Jesus Christ] have prayed for thee [Simon Peter], that thy faith fail not: and thou, being once converted, confirm thy brethren.

(Luke 22:32)

I think that is what harley meant when he said your church tells you what to think. BTW I do not think many non Catholics would let the magistrum tell them the interpretation for Scripture
