Hmmm.... I don't know what to say...

NEW YORK (AP) -- Got sins? A new app for the iPhone and the iPad seeks to help Catholics prepare for confession, that sacred ritual of seeking penance for sins big and small.
"Confession: A Roman Catholic App" does not purport to take the place of an actual confession. Not even the Catholic Church, tech-savvy as it is with the Vatican tweeting in six languages, would approve that. Rather, it guides you through the Ten Commandments with a slew of questions attached to each.
Check boxes for the sins you've committed - and there are many, as any lapsed Catholic knows. The $1.99 app then guides you through contrition and an exchange with a real-life priest, who can then absolve you of your sins.

Lacy's thoughts: I think it's weird, but it's also great for those physically unable to make it to confession that may otherwise be too embarrassed to ask a priest to come to their home.
