In paragraph 116, the Catechism of the Catholic Church says that "we  can acquire a more profound understanding of events by recognizing  their significance in Christ; thus the crossing of the Red Sea is a sign  or type of Christ's victory and also of Christian Baptism." This is what the allegorical sense of Scripture stands for: Understanding the literal passage as it applies to Christ.
