I guess this means that porn is okay. They covered just about everything else thus if they did not want to approve porn they would have said so.

My guess is that you were having joking above. But seriously, here's what is the official Catholic teaching.

2354 Pornography consists in removing real or simulated sexual acts from the intimacy of the partners, in order to display them deliberately to third parties. It offends against chastity because it perverts the conjugal act, the intimate giving of spouses to each other. It does grave injury to the dignity of its participants (actors, vendors, the public), since each one becomes an object of base pleasure and illicit profit for others. It immerses all who are involved in the illusion of a fantasy world. It is a grave offense. Civil authorities should prevent the production and distribution of pornographic materials.

Oops, I forgot about section 2354.
