Confession App: Roman Catholic Church Sanctions New iPhone App - ABC News. Somewhere, Father Nolan is rolling over in his grave. Or, laughing at us from Heaven. I have now seen it all. An iPhone App that purports to help a penitent go to Confession? The only sin here is creating an app that allegedly helps in the examination of conscience. What it will probably do is suggest avenues of sinfulness that the penitent hadn't thought of before. I can see it now. I will be approaching St. Peter and he will say something like: "You really believed you could get forgiven by a smart phone app?" Down you go, sucker.
There is a free application for Android devices that is similar called Penance Project. It helps users do an examination of conscience before the Sacrament and to pray afterwards.
