Kill someone-rape a child-cheat on the wife or what have you. Pick up your I Phone and in a matter of just a couple of minutes you're free to start all over again and you didn't even have to come close to the black robe who dispenses the punishment through a curtain of BS.

A Confession app for the iPhone which allows users to confess their sins and provides guidelines for the sacrament, has been approved by the Catholic Church in Britain and the United States, reports the BBC. A spokesman for the Catholic Bishops' Conference of England and Wales told the BBC that :” The Church believes in embracing new technology and this creative app will hopefully help people to make a good confession”. The $1.99 a pop app allows users to go through the sacrament and keep track of their wrongdoings. Developer Patrick Leinen of Little Apps told Reuters that :” Our desire is to invite Catholics to engage in their faith through digital technology”.

ReplyDeleteOn the fly penance. Since a deplore the catholic church I can only see bad in this. I guess they have to make money as there last bastion of cash would be South America. Once they catch on to the scam, it's adios to the pope.

ReplyDeleteRead the disclaimer from above. The larger point: Show me one passage from the New Testament that supports the need to confess to another man. Doctrine of Infallibility my ass.
