No time to go to confession? Then you need the new handy app for the 'iphone' called, 'Confession: A Roman Catholic app'. It costs £1.19 and is probably the first app to be approved by the Catholic Church. The user is guided through the sacrament and, according to its designers is, "A personalised examination of conscience for each user."
However, Father Federico Lombard a Vatican spokesman has warned the faithful that it must not be used for its intended purpose as it was no substitute for being in the confessional in person when admitting sins as both penitent and the priest need to be together.
Obviously the Catholic kids will like this more than their elders because, not only will it keep them away from the paedo priests, they'd be able to type 50 Hail Marys faster.
