Here's a wonderful example of how the MSM has no idea how to report religious stories. The headline and first paragraph state that the church has approved the use of an iphone app to be forgiven of personal sin... in lieu evidently of going to confession.

You have to read all the way to the last line to discover that absolution still requires a trip to the confessional... "for now, anyway."
