Paul did not contradict the Lord, whose words are always helpful. An older, more accurate English translation reveals the true meaning of 1 Cor 5:12-13. And I would not "condemn" a Pastor despite his error. Because how is that any different from someone condemning the Pope?

Would you be so kind as to share this alternate translation?

And truly, do you honestly believe that we are never to judge others? Indeed I would say that even Jesus disagrees; a certain amount of judgement of others is necessary to satisfy, say, Matthew 18:15-17.

And I would not "condemn" a Pastor despite his error.

Poor choice of words on my part. "Rebuke" might have been better. And yes, I would rebuke a pastor; it can be done with respect.
