App makes Confession for Catholics a little easier

App makes Confession for Catholics a little easier

A new app for devices like the iPhone and iPad aims to take the intimidation factor out of Confession for Catholics. And the Church is giving it a thumbs-up. You’ll still have to tell a priest your sins in person, but "Confession: A Roman Catholic App" holds your hand through the process via your hand-held. Father Jerry Wild of the Newman Center at Temple says support for the app shows the Church is keeping up with the times. "We certainly live in a technological age, so the Church has to be aware of that and respond to that reality."
