text: The CCC should be amended this way --  whether they are laity or clergy, gay people should be vigorously encouraged to come out of the closet.
  
  End the ridiculous policy of claiming that "gay" doesn't exist.   All that policy has done is provide a cloak of secrecy for gay Catholics to pretend they are straight.    These Catholics often become priests, and we've seen that decades of rigorous formation didn't change their sexual orientation.   They are gay men living lives of desperation, holding on to the hope that the Holy Spirit was help them transcend their ss orientation.   And they often prey on young people.
