Online Confessions for Lazy "Catholics"?



A recent story from Ananova:
A Polish man is in trouble for offering an online confessional for Catholics who can't be bothered with church.

Borys Cezar, 37, set up the website which welcomed visitors with the words: "Welcome to the virtual confessional."
. . .
Cezar is facing a heavy fine or jail for offending religious feelings and his website has been closed down.
The article did not give the website, but there is a "virtual confessional" here which is still operating. Of course, it smacks of sacrilege - simulating a sacrament, and no absolution is possible. This is purely for your reading displeasure.
