Technicians have recently came out with a new app! The app is called "Confession: A Roman Catholic App" while some people may think its a joke, others think its a really great idea to have this app with them on their phones and ipods. This app helps people that can no longer get to church almost have church with them in the palm of their hand. This app is only $1.99, but the creators of this app don't want people to think that this app is taking place of the real confessional. They designed it to complement the act of confession, offering a "personal examination of conscience" and a step-by-step guide to sin-confessing. If Catholics use this app, they can engage in their faith through digital technology. Some people see it as a digital Catholic community for their use of prayer and confession. Certain Catholics from Catholic organizations have commented on the app saying that this is a very handy app and that it does help when your on the go or cant get to a confessional.
Relation:
This app can be considered a public opinion, some Catholics may think that its nice to have this confessional on their electronic devices, but is it really that good of an idea? Some will support this app and agree that yes, it is a good idea but what if others are offended. Some Catholics may look at this app as if people are using technology to make a joke out of their religion. If you really believe in your religion and proudly support it you wont download this app but instead just attend the real confessional to relieve your sins, really attending the church will show more dedication and commitment to your fellow Catholics and to yourself for confessing your sins.
