Here is the authoritative Pontifical Biblical Commission

You mean "here WAS." Regardless how often TRCs (traditional RCs) invoke a 104 year old teaching by the Pontifical Biblical Commission (in the same period Prot. fundamentalism/evangelicalism arose as a distinct movement to combat liberal revisionists), the fact is that the RCC is not the same yesterday, today and forever, and as an lengthy article at http://www.catholicculture.org/culture/library/view.cfm?id=4679&CFID=47744606&CFTOKEN=14006738 states,

By the time of the Second Vatican Council many members of the hierarchy were expressing the desire that the PBC be reformed [due its increasing . It was, in fact, restructured by Pope Paul VI in 1971 to the effect that it became no longer an organ of the teaching Church, 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."6 The PBC now tends to be composed mainly, if not exclusively, of historical critics.

Your church sanctioned notes in your own official Bible make it clear that the liberal view is what predominates.

The authoritative decisions taken by the PBC have never been vacated
