Confession can be one of the most humbling experiences as a Catholic. Luckily, or so it seemed, for those who still want to abide by their Catholic religion but are not too fond of having face-to-face time with their pastor, the iPhone now has an app for that! Confession, a Roman Catholic app, seemed to be working alongside the values of the Catholic church;
however the Vatican has stated that the App does not suffice as a replacement to the sacrament.
The Vatican spokeman, Father Lombardi had stated that, "One cannot speak in any way of confessing via iPhone...This cannot be substituted by any IT application." A priest has to be present. Technology cannot replace such a sacred sacrament though the intention of the app was not merely to replace Confession altogether but rather help someone go through with the act. With this interesting albeit odd news, we thought we would compile a list of some of the wackiest iPhone apps! Click on the following picture and see how ridiculous, scandolous and even controversial some of these apps are.
...hmnnn....am not gonna quickly make any comment...so, what do you guys think about the new gadget?
