No, it’s rather obvious that in any religion other than a non-textual one, there has to be an actual doctrine of interpretation. This doctrine, in Catholicism, is an official one, rather than a communal one.

I’m unsure in what way you think it’s bullshit; can you explain?

tl;dr: it means whatever the Church says it means, until the Church decides it means something else.
