Can someone explain the concept of a "moral evil"?

Am I correct in assuming that the phrase was never heard before the Church had to deal with homosexuals?

The concept of moral evil has been around since there have been people, as far as I know. A staple of philosophical discussion for centuries has been the distinction between moral and physical evil. My own field of study has been literature, where the theme of moral vs. physical evil has been played over in all variations.
