If the magistrum is the definer of what scripture means they are the author of those poor hermeneutics

No. that assumes the preachers were capable and desirous of knowing what the Vatican said.

1) The Catholic church has never taught the bible in a direct systematic verse by verse chapter by chapter way ..there is NO official Commentary on scripture other than the ones they need to prove their doctrine..so maybe a hundred verses or so ..thats it..

2)If the catholic priests, catholic teachers and catholic theologians have no interest in the teachings of the magistrum I would say they are their own popes and the Vatican is useless ...and so Catholics will never know what the official position of scripture the church holds
