Yes, the Magisterium interprets The Bible. That assures that all Catholics, everywhere, are receiving the same message. What happens when everyone is allowed to interpret scriptures on their own? There are over 30,000 Protestant denominations, each one with a different interpretation and each one saying that their interpretation is the correct one. The New Testament was written by Catholics so the interpretation by the Church is in following with Church tradition. Martin Luther rewrote the Bible so as to better reflect his own interpretation. Those books he disagreed with he threw out of the Bible completely.
