I wonder if this would have helped me. The day before I rotated back from Thailand in 1963, I tried to go to confession in a Thai church. I asked the priest if he understood English. He didn't. So I got up and left the box. Would Babelfish have translated my confession accurately enough?

Joe, confession is a profoundly intense and serious exchange between penitent and God Almighty. Would you really trust a computer program to properly translate (=interpret) your confession into a meaningful experience?
