Can anyone clarify the Catholic position on which parts of the bible are intended to be taken literally and which parts are to be taken metaphorically and exactly where the rules have been laid out concerning such?
 
You may wish to read the Catechism of the Catholic Church staring with paragraph 101 and read through the entire section on Holy Scripture. Pay special attention to the section on the literal and spiritual senses of scripture, (para: 115-118) and I think you will come to a better understanding.

Also, when reading the scriptures, alway read in the light of Sacred Tradition, knowing that any interpretation that causes the two (Scripture and Sacred Tradition) to appear to contradict each other is in error.
