    How is this any different from what the church believes in?

    Why are they acting so surprised that a Roman-Catholic confession app is anti-gay?! Big fuckin deal!

    The people who download this app either already are anti-gay (therefore, the app doesn't change anything), or they're a good Catholic but reject the idea of homosexuality being a sin (therefore they're awesome), or they downloaded it for the lolz. It's not like the app is going to create a homophobe!

    There's no reason to freak out over this app. Like concklin said, it won't create homophobia. Confessions aren't directly related to the church's stance on homosexuality.

    This is silly. There are much, much, MUCH more important battles for those groups to be fighting right now...

    Funny. A confession app? Can we appoint an AI as the next pope? Maybe it would be smarter.

    This is the biggest waste of gay rights' groups time possible.

    I thought we'd already established that the Catholic Church is an arsehole. This isn't news.

    You can do confessions though an app now? That reminds me of the websites that baptise you.
