It was a ritual law that reminded Israel that God chose Israel from among all the nations to be holy. It also related to their sacrificial system. That Mosaic ritual law (like circumcision, sabbaths, etc.) was nullified for the New Covenant people of God.
Sodomy laws (along with adultery, fornicstion, bestiality, etc ) are moral laws that always apply to all people everywhere. Just like not murdering or stealing.
Scripture says for men not to lie with other men "as with a woman" (Lev. 18:22). If this was to condemn only male rape, then it would make no sense to say "as with a woman." The context, same chapter, includes prohibitions against incest, adultery, and bestiality. These things are not just temporary cultural decrees.
Jesus said God allowed for divorce due to hardness of heart during Moses' time, but then said from the beginning it was not so. He banned divorce from that point on, calling us to a more rigorous and higher standard. If Jesus took a hard line against divorce, which was and still is ubiquitous, he surely would not cave in to unnatural acts of lust.
The pope has absolutely zero authority to change moral laws. He is not Jesus. The pope's job is to strengthen (not weaken) his brethren. He is charged with preserving (not reversing) the deposit of faith. He must hold fast to the faith once delivered to the saints, not submit to the woke spirit of the world.
