Pope John Paul II states in some of his writings that nudity is not sinful in and of itself. If it invokes lust or other sinful acts within yourself then it is sinful. He even admits to being nude himself. .. . .. So, no official stance, but some interesting writing by scholars and Popes.
None. Though it can lead you to sin, but then just about everything else can as well. My understanding is that it depends on what's in your heart that counts. And, for those who attended mass this past weekend will remember that's the message from the Gospel.

None, but I think that Pope John Paul II and Pope Francis' writings are clear. No, nudity in itself cannot be a sin. We are born nude. It is what we do with our lives and bodies that can be sinful.Enjoying the bodies we haveand enjoying the world around us is aGod given gift.I do not believe there to be a thin line between sin and being human. I have seen some activities that some would call, hypocritical or immoral or deceitful or similar. But I have compassion for that person. Was it/is it sinful? Who will cast the first stone.
No official teaching that nudity is sinful. At least none I was ever taught. When God found out that Adam and Eve wore clothes because the snake told them to He kicked them out of the garden. So it may be that wearing cloths is sinful.
