The catholic church teachings are based on the philosophy of "Natural Law" as put forward by primarily by Thomas Aquinas in 13th century. The idea is that if some action doesn't follow the "laws" of nature, then it is morally wrong. One can argue that other ethics such as utilitarianism are equally valid, that is if the final outcome provides happiness for all, it is morally "good".
