Catholics can purchase an app for their iPhone, iPad, iWhatever that "guides" them through the act of confessing their sins. It allows the user to select from a predefined list of acts of contrition. But! You still have to go to a priest for absolution. Unless of course you have a lot of money in which case the priest will certainly come to you. Presumably non-Catholics could buy this app, too. Would it work the same for us? Would our souls be freshened or would we just be wasting our money?
The best part about this is they don't even see the contradiction.
