EXCERPT: The app also tailors the questions if you sign in as a priest or a “religious.” For instance, if you say you’re a female and try to select “priest” as your vocation, a dialogue box appears that says “sex and vocation are incompatible.” So much for modernity.

Right on Maureen Dowd! So much for this new app bringing you closer to God- if you are a female-forget it! Check out the examination of conscience for women vs. men, girls vs. boys! I wonder who worked on this examination of conscience? What's next email your sins to a cyber- space confessor. Just hit confessional box on app, send in your sins, and receive a return penance with serveral stars that flash the number for the indulgences received? I think this new app. needs more work- specifically input from women and a new category for women priests!! www.associationofromancatholicwomenpriests.org

The thing I noticed was the photo too. I first noticed both were male, the photo very old. I also wondered what happened to confidentiality within the confessional?
ReplyDeleteThe whole thing is ridiculous! Give me a break!!!
