Actually the Catholic church has never published a verse by verse official exposition of scripture so every Catholic priest giving a sermon, every Catholic Theologian or writer is actually his own pope and giving his own personal interpretation of scripture...

No. The Catechism is quite clear. I feel ashamed that you were not properly catechized so that you would truly understand it and not take the positions that you do on here.

I am sorry you do not understand the difference between a catechism and a commentary..

A catechism is a statement of faith not a line by line teaching of the meaning of every verse of scripture.. There is no such thing as a catholic commentary so when one preaches or teaches they are free to find what ever they want in the text.. YOPIOS is what every priest and teacher does in the RC... I heard some terrible hermeneutics in my days as a catholic .
