Modernizing the Catholic Church Going to church and attending or hearing mass is a holy and blessed activity for those belonging in the Catholic congregation. Inside the church, we can feel and sense holiness and serenity. You cannot expect modern technology to be installed inside a church that has been there for centuries and more. Imagine if there is a wi-fi inside the church, and everybody especially the young are bringing their iPads. What a distraction it will be during the mass, if most of these people will be surfing the internet, checking their facebook accounts, or watching video concert or movie. The Vatican was alarmed of the release of a new downloadable application for iPhone gadgets. Upon hearing the news, Vatican immediately gave instruction to stop such new technology, with a reminder to the people to maintain holiness when inside the church, despite of the desire to have these modern gadgets.

The users will have to buy and then download the software in order to use it. IPhone users in the United States are the only ones for now who can access to this software.

We are all in agreement that technological innovations today are created to provide comfort and ease to people. Performing our daily tasks are made easy and fast with the latest gadgets such as iPhones and iPads, new computers and laptops, and other high-tech products. With the availability of this new Catholic app, the person has the option to do confession without heading to church, or wait in long line, just to confess to a priest. In this new application, the person just have to have an iPhone, download the app from iTunes for an amount of $1.99, and he can already start his confession rite. The Confession app has its advantages given the mentioned benefits. But if we come to consider the sacredness of the confession rite, we can say that Vatican is correct with its notion. The Catholic church would not want the virtues and the rules of the Scriptures to be disregarded with the coming in of new technologies. People should still observe proper boundaries, and honor values of the Scriptures, even if these new technologies give comfort and easiness to us. The Vatican is definitely correct with its motion to ban the Confession application because as Catholics, we have the holy obligation to observe the proper way of saying confession based on the way our Holy Bible has taught us for many centuries.
