There are Catholic commentaries. Just google them. As far as the Church is concerned: its interpretations are limited to contraversial passages. The Reformation approach to Scripture seems to us to be more like that of the Rabbis.

Yet, there is no "official" Roman Catholic Church Bible Commentary. Yes, there are many "Catholic" ones, but they are the works of individuals or certain groups who identify as Catholic - some with nihil obstat, some without. There are also frequent contradictions between them even as we see happening with current Catholic apologists in their various online blogs, discussion boards and books. In truth, there is much left up to the individual Catholic to figure out in his own concerning much of the Bible as very few verses HAVE an official interpretation. It might surprise you to know that, not only is there no "official" Roman Catholic Bible commentary, there is not even an official infallible list of all the infallible teachings of the Roman Catholic Church.
