Natural Law Theory is the official ethic of the Roman Catholic Church. It was espoused by Thomas Aquinas, and argues that, as God created the universe and revealed his mind to Man through the Bible, Man can use his reason to discern God's Will by studying the natural world. For instance, a study of the male and female reproductive system naturally leads any sane person to see that their natural function is to come together for the sole purpose of procreation- so any acts other than this purpose, such as homosexuality and autosexuality, are wrong.
