An Indiana-based company called Little iApps has created the first application for the Apple iPhone giving guidance for Catholics who wish to return to the confessional.
The application, which has received its imprimatur from Bishop Kevin Rhoades of the Fort Wayne-South Bend diocese, is not designed to be used in the confessional itself but gives a step-by-step guide to the sacrament to those who have been missing for a while. The app, costing just $1.99 in the Apple iTune Store gives password protected advice on performing the sacrament as well as a list of acts of contrition.
Unlike some of the things that come onto the market, this simple application seems to me to be an eminently good idea since anything that helps people along the path of spirituality is bound to be one.
