Do you have a hectic, busy lifestyle? Commit sins that you really need to confess, but said hectic lifestyle prevents you from visiting a confessional? Ever wish you could just confess your sins on the go and get on with your day? Well, there’s an app for that! Officially approved by the Catholic Church, Confession: A Roman Catholic App sells for $1.99, a small price to pay for a clean, mobile soul. Described on iTunes as “the perfect aid for every penitent,” the app provides a “personalized examination of conscience” per each password protected user profile, as well as a step-by-step guide to the sacrament. Just think, now you can immediately confess after you stumble across some unseemly thing on the Internet, rather than travel across town to the nearest church like you’ve always done.

Err…. Slight correction. The “Confession App” is merely to aid in confessing to the priest, like a checklist of sins. You still have to go to the church in order to confess. If you go to UK Daily Mail’s article on the app, you might get a clearer idea of what the app is intended for.

@Catholic girl – good observation! I was thinking this can’t be a replacement for in-person confession, but it does keep it on the brim of the brain.

Shouldn’t we be able to do confession virtually? It’s the same as doing it behind a screen, just further away.

@tj225 – That can’t happen, because then we’d all lose that good ol’ sense of Catholic guilt.
