The Catholic Church...There's an App for That

iPrayer?

The Catholic Church in America has approved  A Roman Catholic App, for use among churchgoers and lapsed Catholics alike. Patrick Leinen, of Little iApps, the company that created Confession, claims it has already helped one person come back to the church after 20 years away.

Protected by a password, the app invites users to examine their consciences and confess to their sins. But it won't replace the old-school booth. The app, which costs $1.99, just goes through the motions of confession, but churchgoers must see a priest for absolution.

I have to give the Catholic Church credit for trying to reach out to the masses with this app.  If nothing else, it's quite a media stunt.
