According to Catholic teaching, yes it is.
The magisterium (the pope and the bishops in union with him) has condemed pronography in "Catechism of the Catholic Church" under the 6th commandment (thou shalt not commit adultery). It reads as follows:
"Pornography consists in removing real or simulated sexual acts from the intimacy of the partners, in order to display them deliberately to 3rd 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" (CCC paragraph 2354 emphasis added).
Also consider what Christ had to say about lust in the heart: "I say to you, everyone who looks at a woman with lust has committed adultery with her in his heart" (Mt 5:28).
Pope John Paul 2 spoke extensively about human sexuality and lust in particular. he said that lust consists of the devaluation of the person lusted after as a "mere object for me". As Christians, he said, we are called to love our neighbor as ourself, meaning that we desire the highest and best goods for them.
Hope this helps! Take Care
As far as amine goes, read the basic definition of pornography from the Catechism again.
'Pornography consists in removing real or simulated sexual acts from the intimacy of the partners, in order to display them deliberately to 3rd parties."
Those would fall under the category of simulated sexual acts.
Well,, for the Roman Cathlic church I think watching Pornography might be a sin.
They probably believe it is so, if I'm not mistaken, if someone watches pornography and belong to the Roman Cathlic church, they need to confess to the Preast.
I might be wrong but, it might be true since I don't know what they believe.
