RE: If the Pope said it was no longer a sin..”

The answer is No. The Pope cannot change any doctrine on his own. The Magisterium (all Catholic bishops united to him) must speak in unity on a matter pertaining to faith or morals in order to refine (never contradict) a major teaching.

So if they all agreed, they could declare homosexuality to no longer be a sin according to Catholics?
