Philippines bans txt confessions (BBC)

The Secretary-General of the country's Catholic Bishops Conference (CBCP) said that confessions sent by text message, email or fax were "unacceptable" ....

.... He said the Catholic Church was unable to allow absolution by electronic messaging because of the issue of confidentiality ....

.... At least 80% of the country's 80 million people are Roman Catholic, but a survey by the CBCP last year showed that less than half of young Catholics go to church to receive the sacraments ....

I guess religion just isn't convenient for the modern sinner on the go. I mean, by the time you get down to text-messaging your confession, ought you not just admit that you don't give a rat's rosy cheeks and get on with life?

Just once I would like to see religion given proper respect by the faithful.

And we wonder why there are so few Christian mystics these days ....
