Jesus came to fulfill the law, not to free us from the law. The Church has rules, but any 2000 year old organization of 1 billion people is going to have a rule or two. More important than rules are the teachings the Church gives us to help us to walk with Christ.

I see what you are saying but I asked the priest at my parrish and he agree Jesus did come to free us from the law. All 600 or so odd laws.

We are not subject to the OT ritual laws (of which there were hundreds) but we are subject to the moral laws (the 10 Commandments).
Jesus told us we must keep the Commandments.

I decided to check out what the catechism said about pornography and this is what I got out of it.
It hurts human dignity and takes the sex act and displays it to all. These things are supposed to be private. This does not strike me as nudity in art or simple nudity. I have yet to ask a priest exactly what is meant.
