Catholic AnswerCatholic teaching - revelation from God - is a three legged stool:.
1. Sacred Tradition2. Sacred Scripture3. the Magisterium of the ChurchThe teaching, itself is contained in Sacred Tradition and Sacred Scripture, but without the Magisterium, these are pretty much useless, and can be interpreted thousands of different ways (witness fractured Protestantism). The Magisterium is the authentic, infallible voice of God teaching through the Roman Pontiff (the Pope) and the Bishops in union with him:.
from The Catechism of the Catholic Church, second edition, English translation 1994
2034 The Roman Pontiff and the bishops are "authentic teachers, that is, teachers endowed with the authority of Christ, who preach the faith to the people entrusted to them, the faith to be believed and put into practice." (Codex Iuris Canonici, canon 747, section 2) The ordinary and universal Magisterium of the Pope and the bishops in communion with him teach the faithful the truth to believe, the charity to practice, the beatitude to hope

Catholic AnswerAlthough different Catholics may have different views on whaling, I can find no official Church teachings regarding these, and I would sincerely doubt that there would be any.
