The Catholic Church has approved an app that simulates confession

The Catholic Church has approved an smart phone app that helps guide worshippers through confession.

Patrick Leinen is the developer, and explains the concept on BBC Radio 5 live.

"Examination of consciences are pretty common in churches," Leinen tells Up All Night presenter Rhod Sharp.

"We're doing the exact same thing, it's just that we're tailoring it a little bit more to you."




What's next?
Hookers and Blow. There's an app for that.

Do they have an app that sodomizes altar boys yet?

I bet there exists a database where all the confessions end up. And all the pervy priests go to "absolve" sins and masturbate.

Well I think you can do it via SMS so writing the app should be easy. =)

Interesting that someone registered this domain name, penancepal.com. :sneaky:

I wonder if you can pre-pay before a night of sin? 😎

Of course, if the site rips you off, you'll be one more victim of The Pirates of Penance. :biggrin:

So the app price is now the tithe?

This is so fucking stupid

My thoughts exactly.

If Catholics can have a confession app, maybe Jews should have a guilt app. They could call it the iBad. :biggrin:

Finally, 21st century technology meets 1st century superstition.

Sounds like it doesn't simulate confession. You still need to go to the church.
