I dunno, I feel like Catholic dogma gets complicated when you try to call God a "person", perhaps "being" is the right word. However on that point I'm fairly certain it's considered impossible for Catholics to even attempt to hold God to a certain standard; it's God's standard in the first place, and intended for humans only (it doesn't apply to animals), so presumably the Catholic argument would be that God can pretty much do whatever he wants without violating morality, because morality is something to be subjected upon human beings. There's also the argument that anything God does is inherently moral by the very nature of God and objective morality. It gets confusing very quickly.
