Watch out for the subtle distinction. Teleologism judges morality by the solely by the consequences of an action and thus wrongly rejects absolute concrete moral norms. See p. 147. Teleological reasoning, on the other hand, judges morality by the nature of the human person and the actions appropriate to fulfilling the needs of that nature.

If you want to make a distinction between the intellect, will, and nature of God, it would be better to say that Catholic Church teaching about right and wrong is ultimately based on the nature and intellect of God rather than His will.
