The footnotes give a sort of clue. I don’t think the Church has an official stance on what every verse of scripture means, but there are many saints and theologians who give commentaries and interpretations of the Psalms
 
In addition to its commentary on Psalm 82:1,6, where the “gods” mentioned in Psalm 82 are identified as “pagan gods” and as “those (humans) to whom the word of God is addressed,” respectively, the New American Bible, Revised Edition, also discusses the “gods” mentioned in Psalm 82:6 in its commentary on John 10:34, where they are further identified as “the (human) judges of Israel.”

Thanks Todd. I thought it would be good to have John 10:34 printed out here since the link goes straight to the footnote for it.

John 10:34-35 Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your law, ‘I said, you are gods’? 35 If he called them gods to whom the word of God came (and scripture cannot be broken),

Jesus Himself identifies who the “gods” are.

The footnotes in this translation–treating “gods” as actual subordinate deities–is a novelty, as far as I can tell (and seems to me to lack faith in the divine inspiration of the Scriptures, seeing as such deities did not exist). The Haydock commentary provides the common interpretations in the Catholic tradition (linked below). While some have said they were angels, most treat them as the Jewish judges.

(Note, in the translation this is from the Psalms are numbered slightly differently, so this one is 81 instead of 82)

I dont see any contradiction with sacred scripture. If mere mortals can be sufficiently called “gods” in John 10:34-35 why not members of the angelic host? Do you know how heaven operates? Have you ever been there? Furthermore this seems to tie directly into Deuteronomy 32:8 and the division of the nations after the number of the divine beings which is indicated as 70. Lastly if these beings did not indeed exist why would God ever bother to judge them like he did in Exodus 12:12? Since its indeed God who ultimately sets up all authority on heaven and earth we can conclude he gave the rebellious Nations away to these beings after Babel Tower because they did not want to hear or follow him so instead they get lesser inferior “gods” and until he brings forth a new peoples he can call his own with Abraham. Lastly this ties into verse 8 of Psalm 82 where Jesus will ultimately takes back the whole world and all its nations for himself offering the gentiles faithful his salvation.

I have no problem with them being angels or demons (a minority opinion on this psalm), but not deities, which is something different.

With regard to Exodus 12:12, we have the following commentaries which aligns with the other:

Gods, idols, whose statues some assert were overthrown (St. Jerome, ep. ad Fabiol.; Eusebius, præp. ix. ultra[last]); or sacred animals, which were adored by the Egyptians; (Origen) or the word may imply that the princes and judges of the land would be mostly destroyed. (Calmet) — Forbes observes, that by the destruction of the first-born, all the proper sacrifices, and priests of Egypt, were destroyed.
