Got Sins to Confess? There's an App for That.
Have you sinned today? Don’t worry about finding time to swing by your local church, just hit up the iTunes store. Yes, there is indeed an app for that. Catholics with a guilty conscience can now whip out their iPhones and confess their mistakes to Confession: A Roman Catholic App.
You've got to be kidding, right? I wish I was!
This app comes soon after Pope Benedict XVI’s statement that priests should embrace digital communication.
The Catholic Church in the U.S. sanctioned the app, and promises it will deliver believers with a “personalized examination of conscience for each user.” But if total and complete absolution is your desired outcome, you might be dissapointed. You still need a priest to grant you that (for now).
And if you’re worried about your sending your sins into the cloud, don’t fret. The app comes with password-protected profiles.
