If you're good with technology and are Roman Catholic, you have a new way of practicing the sacrament of penance. Recently, a Catholic bishop sanctioned an app—called “confession” and available on iPhone—to allow penitents to type in the sins they wish to confess in a confessional box and then receive instructions on how to make penitence.
Since so many Catholics are now refusing to go to confession, some leaders are hoping this virtual confession will entice more Catholics to return to the real-life confessional booth.
