"The Pontifical Biblical Commission, in its new form after the Second Vatican Council, is not an organ of the teaching office, but rather a commission of scholars who, in their scientific and ecclesial responsibility as believing exegetes, take positions on important problems of Scriptural interpretation and know that for this task they enjoy the confidence of the teaching office. "

There is NO commentary of the entire scriptures done by the magisterium (the official teachers of the church)..NONE... Nada ..The list you presented are critiques on methods of exegesis. They are NOT any official infallible commentaries

In the past the average Catholic could depend on the word of his parish priest if he had any doubts about correct Catholic belief or conduct, or even on the example of the many good Catholics about him. But today one can no longer trust everything that is said by just any priest or theologian, and our fellow parishioners are likely to be totally confused about what the Church proclaims to have been revealed by God. And so it behooves us to understand a word and concept that is apt to be unfamiliar or confusing. This word is Magisterium. Now the Latin word magisterium originally meant the duty or office of a teacher, tutor, master, etc. And in the case of the Church it means simply the teaching authority or office of the Church. The Magisterium is the teaching office of the Church, accomplished by the Holy Father and the bishops teaching in union with him.

The rule of what we must believe as Catholics was defined by the First Vatican Council (1870) thus: …Further, all those things are to be believed with divine and Catholic faith which are contained in the Word of God, written or handed down, and which the Church, either by a solemn judgment or by her ordinary and universal teaching [magisterium], proposes for belief as having been divinely revealed.

"...Again NO Official Inspired commentary written in 2000 years."

Sometimes this is just too easy. How can you claim that Catholics "cannot decide for themselves" what Scripture says and must rely on what the Church tells them it says and then complain that there is no instrument by which to instruct Catholics? How also can you boast that Protestants are independent free thinkers and have an indwelling of the Holy Spirit to guide their interpretations and then claim that they have the official commentaries to prove it? Even you have to admit that is a pretty convoluted scenario to not ridicule.

Yep. Just lots of conjecture about various traditions of men.
