A look at an iPhone app, approved by the Catholic Church, which acts as your electronic Christian conscience.

excerpt:

> The app offers different questions depending on your age and gender.
>
> For instance, if you sign in as a 15-year-old girl and look under the
> Sixth Commandment, one of the questions is: “Do I not treat my body
> or other people’s bodies with purity and respect?” If you sign in as
> a 33-year-old married man, that commandment offers this query: “Have
> I been guilty of masturbation?”
>
> Children are asked if they pout or use bad language. Teenagers are
> asked if they are a tattletale or bully. Women are asked if they’ve
> had an abortion or encouraged anyone to have an abortion and if
> they’re chaste. Men are asked about the latter two, as well.
>
> The app also tailors the questions if you sign in as a priest or a
> “religious.” For instance, if you say you’re a female and try to
> select “priest” as your vocation, a dialogue box appears that says
> “sex and vocation are incompatible.” So much for modernity.
>
> Under the Sixth Commandment, men and women are asked: “Have I been
> guilty of any homosexual activity?” Priests, however, are not. They
> are asked if they flirt.
