text: From the USCCB document, 
  "2. Do everything possible to continue demonstrating love for your child. However, accepting his or her homosexual orientation does not have to include approving of all related attitudes and behavioral choices. In fact, you may need to challenge certain aspects of a lifestyle that you find objectionable. 
  3. Urge your son or daughter to stay joined to the Catholic faith community. If they have left the Church, urge them to return and be reconciled to the community, especially through the sacrament of penance. 
  4. Recommend that your son or daughter find a spiritual director/mentor to offer guidance in prayer and in leading a chaste and virtuous life.
  This pastoral advice is a recipe for disaster and will alienate any gay person I know. This is not acceptance of the person as God made them.
  This article, though well-meaning, is far from the reality. Has it ever occurred to the USCCB that most gay people will not "return to the church" out of principle.
