I, like you, have not seen the App nor am I a Catholic. As I understand it, it is simply words that are accessible via smart phone or other computer gadgets. The Bible can also be accessed the same way. It is not a machine coming between God and man, it is simply another delivery system, words on a screen rather than words on paper.

My point was that if it is as described, it allows a person to confess to God without the need for a priest. Perhaps I am wrong. It may just be a coaching mechanism in preparation for confession. Who cares anyway?

“Who cares anyway?”

Certainly not me. I find it amusing.

Ah but you did equate them. But that's insignificant in light of what it suggests are your other habits of cognitive dissonance.

Please, I didn't ask for your advice.
