Confession: There's an iPhone App For That 192

Posted by Roblimo on Tuesday February 08, 2011 @08:20PM from the Does-Apple-get-30%-of-each-confession? dept.

slshwtw writes "Pope Benedict XVI has recently encouraged priests to blog and promoted Christian Netiquette. Now apparently the Roman Catholic church has sanctioned a 'Confession App,' available through iTunes for $1.99. Apparently it doesn't replace 'traditional,' in-person confession, but walks one through the process, even suggesting sins you may wish to confess."'

How much different is this from the dystopia in THX-1138 where they have Automated Confession Booths [youtube.com]?

Sodomized a child: $100
Coveted your neighbour's wife? $30
Murdered an infidel? $400 credit

isn't an iPhone kinda incompatible with your religion? It's a large, unnecessary expenditure of money and resources when there are millions of poor. Plus it's a status symbol, and I'm pretty sure pride is a sin (correct me if I'm wrong, not a Catholic)...

It's like the guy in the $80,000 SUV with Jesus on his license plate. I think he's missing the point...

You do realize that the Catholic Church probably doesn't care too much about what Martin Luther thinks, right?

As I keep saying, if God didn't want me to covet my neighbour's ass, He wouldn't have given her such a magnificent ass ;)
You sure ? After all this is the guy who put a fruit tree in the middle of a garden and put a "do not eat" sign on it. He's a bit of dick like that.
