we interpret it differently than Protestants (or rather, Protestants interpret it differently than us),

Why are making the distinction?

The Catholic Church existed before Protestantism, so the Catholic interpretation is older.

c. Various translations into the vernacular were banned, but this was because they were bad translations, not because people were only allowed to read the Bible in Latin.

Tyndall would like a word with you on that subject.

Tyndale’s translation was in fact ideological. Among other things, he sought to undermine the clergy and translated the Greek word ekklesia with “congregation” rather than “church,” essentially undermining the ecclesiology of the Catholic Church. Basically he was imposing his own ideas on what Scripture was saying, and the Catholic Church did not want him to mislead people. It was wrong to execute him, but in the Church’s view, souls were at stake.
