It's not what he meant but he (as in the church) will not be the judge. Everyone will one day answer to a higher authority

Right, the Pope nor any other man has the right to judge another on an individual basis. However, he would be well within his Pontiff Charter to boldly decry homosexual activity as being clearly outside the bounds of morally acceptable behavior.

There is not one glimmer of doubt, that God has made it clear in the scriptures homosexuality is sin and therefore unacceptable in His eyes. An abomination, in fact. The Pope nor any other man, need worry about political correctness when judging sin, an action we are all commanded to do, much less the head of the Catholic Church.
2 Timothy 4:2 (KJV)
"2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine."
