Uber-priest: the service of express confession launched in Spain

A new app allowing Catholic users to order up a confession as easily as an Uber date has been launched in Spain, reports Foreign Police.

"A new app called Confesor Go launched, allowing remorseful Catholic users to order up a confession as easily as an Uber or a Tinder date, "writes the source.

The app, developed by Father Ricardo Latorre, detects a user’s location and plots a route to the nearest priest who’s signed up with the service. You can confess in a church, or, for convenience’s sake, in a public place, like a plaza, park, or even right on the street.

"It looks like the Catholic Church’s latest effort to approach the smartphone generation. Pope Francis has often admonished priests not to turn off the faithful by being boring or inaccessible — and nothing is more accessible than being summoned like a cab," thinks the editor.

As reported earlier, in Scotland the faithful will be able to confess due to the navigator.
