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?

Sorry, but you gotta put a priest in the middle of that equation. Rules is rules.

Probably not, but when the only priest available doesn't understand English, I don't know what else to do.
