Catholic Church Approves Confession App
Described as "the perfect aid for every penitent", it offers users tips and guidelines to help them with the sacrament. The app takes users through the sacrament - in which Catholics admit their wrongdoings - and allows them to keep track of their sins. It also allows them to examine their conscience based on personalised factors such as age, sex and marital status - but it is not intended to replace traditional confession entirely. Instead, it encourages users to understand their actions and then visit their priest for absolution.

Wait for Google Ad Words support.
Get instant notifications of how many hail marys are required to make up for looking up "image of an ass".
Streamlining it with billing the appropriate indulcences right to your credit card (or paypal, if you prefer) will be the next step, I'm sure.
The mid 21st century catholic will be calling up the diocese hotline to contest the charges for eight hours of sloth, each night, he finds on his monthly statement.

Number three, "Have I been involved with superstitious practices or have I been involved with the occult?" Doesn't that apply to religion in general?

Oh goodie. Now I can feel even guiltier. Didnt know you sined onthat particular instance? There is an app for that. Oddly its the same resoult as the old method....just assume that you did.
Now I guess I could instantly confess? But I still have to go to confession? Not seeing the point really.

Excepting that this is no different than a printed pamphlet that says the same stuff. This isn't an i-phone confession, it's just a guide designed to help Catholics examine their consciences.

Aw, man, I was hoping it was dishing out penance. I can see the coders now: "Hey, what sort of algorithm should we use to determine the sinfulness of masturbation?"
