Vatican Bans IOS Confession App

Posted by samzenpus on Thursday February 10, 2011 @03:28AM from the get-your-iabsolution-somewhere-else dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Despite all the hype that a lowly priest had approved the new confessional app hitting the app store, the truth has now revealed itself. According to today's Daily Mail, a spokesman for the Vatican, Federico Lombardi said: 'It is essential to understand that the rites of penance require a personal dialogue between penitents and their confessor. It cannot be replaced by a computer application. I must stress to avoid all ambiguity, under no circumstance is it possible to confess by iPhone."

I just heard about this from friends and coworkers and they all were lead to think (from their own sources I suppose) that the app was actually used for confessing and getting absolved through it.
That would require them to use in-app purchasing, and give Apple 30% of each indulgence.
