Buying Indulgences? There's An App For That!


Am I actually playing Sudoku right now? CHECK!
In a move that's sure to have Martin Luther laughing in his grave, the Roman Catholic Church has approved an iOS app to augment traditional confession.

Confession: A Roman Catholic App is "Designed to be used in the confessional" and is "...the perfect aid for every penitent." By "perfect aid" they mean it's a brilliant excuse for Catholic school kids to play Worms 2: Armageddon in a confessional.

The app is not meant to take the place of face-to-face confession with an ordained priest because confessions by electronic media are invalid, as declared by the Congregation on Divine Worship and the Sacraments - DUH!

I can only assume the next app approved by the Church will document all Mass responses plus when to stand, sit, and kneel for all us Easter/Christmas Catholics. On second thought, excuse me while I go start making that right now. I'll use my millions to buy us spots in heaven...

If you look at porn on your phone while in confession and confess it, it's like it never happened!
