What's the point of the magisterium's "interpretation" if you can bring your own understanding to the Bible's meaning?
Catholics clearly are told they must accept the magisterium's interpretation of Scripture, regardless of when or even if they ever get around to reading the Bible themselves.
Thus many Catholics don't read the Bible because they prefer to read the catechism and what the magisterium tells them the Bible says which is what you just high-fived.
When a Catholic finally does get around to reading Bible, the rolls of the Protestant churches grow, by the grace of God alone.

It seems you left out the rest of my post, which was a complete reply to this entire quote:
According to the RCC catechsim, found at Vatican.va, all Scripture must be interpreted by the magisiterium, the bishops and the pope before being read and understood by members of the church.
I asked you if the bolded phrase was found at Vatican.va.
