Roman Catholic bishops have approved a new iphone/ipad app. that allows users to to make confessions with a virtual priest over the internet.
'Confessions: a Roman catholic App.' on sale this week offers 'a personalized examination of conscience for each user.' Sins are listed by misdeed and omission. A button lists 'customary sins' gluttony, envy, greed, etc. Each sin is check-boxed. A next command brings up one of the Acts of Contrition. Users then press 'Receive Absolution and respond Amen' before going to 'Finish.' A spiritual quote then comes up.

Forgive me father
for coveting my neighbour's
app., deleting sins.
Father Ted, eat your
heart out. Virtual Churches,
priests, sins are here now!
