Priests? We don’t need no stinkin’ priests! Confession: A Roman Catholic App.
Confession: A Roman Catholic App, a new iPhone application that simulates the act of Catholic confession and prayer for a mere $1.99, has already been disqualified by the Vatican as an acceptable excuse for not going to church. A spokesperson for the Vatican said that Catholics can’t actually participate in confession via their iPhones, despite the fact that it has been endorsed (or given an ‘imprimatur’) by a Catholic bishop.
Now, I’m not Catholic (surprise!) but, I’m finding it hard to fight the urge to spring for the $1.99 to see if I can break the app’s virtual”confession booth“. But who the fuck am I kidding? My iPhone would burst into flames the minute ‘Confession’ finished downloading. Besides, I try to avoid doing anything that cuts into my downtime playing Slayer Pinball. Word.
