Explain like I'm atheist: what's the big deal here?
A simple meal with the pope could be spun as an opportunity to bring the trans out of sin. 'Jesus ate with prostitutes/sinners,' etcetera, etcetera.
I take it that there is more to the outrage than wasted time/opportunity or having presumably unrepentant sinners come near the figurehead of the theology.

You don't bring them out of the sin, you condemn them and deal with them as heretics.
