They even link to the Vatican's official website, along with EWTN and New Advent Encyclopedia, which may help to fool the uneducated. I typed in a fake confession, using their convenient drop down menus, and here is my computer assigned penance, complete with absolution granted by the cyber-god:DisclaimerThis is a free service provided for the Internet community.

The Legal Bit
We, absolution-online, disclaim everything we may legally disclaim under the laws of the USA, UK, EEC and all other nations. We make no claims as to the effectiveness of an online confession, rosary or anything else on this site.
eConfessional
May the Almighty God have mercy on you, and forgiving your sins, bring you to life everlasting. Amen.
May the Almighty and Merciful God grant you pardon, absolution, and remission of your sins.
Mortal Sins
Consider the implications of what you have done. You must take all steps possible to undo what has been done, and make right what you have done wrong.
You should fast for 4 days. If this is too much to do at once due to the length of the fast, or infirmity, it is acceptable to break a fast into smaller sections. If you are unsure how long it is safe to fast for, consult a doctor.
If your sin also broke the law of the land in which you live, you must confess to the authorities.
I absolve you from your sins in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.

Oh PG-
I am sure that the "liberal" catholics are jumping at this,saddly!
As sad as it is, I can't say that I'm surprised. I've heard from a few people who sincerely believe that watching a Mass over the TV fulfills their Sunday obligation.
They don't seem to have figured out virtual Communion yet, though. It's rather frightening to think what they could do with that idea.
That's so cool!!!
"Venial Sins
Recite 184 Hail Marys and 8 Our Fathers.

You should fast for a total of 2 weeks. "
HA!!! Did you see the poem??
Funniest poem I've heard since last week's posting on SoVII
Wow, Christina, you musta been really bad!!!! ;}
This is shocking. I wonder if someone contacted EWTN and said that they were linking to them if EWTN could ask them to take the link of.
christina,
You call that a poem? I couldn't make heads-nor-tails out of it.
i went to this site, and couldn't believe this is for real. it really is eh?
seems to me like it is ultra minimizing the Catholic faith. next thing you know, communion will be virtual to. then before you know it, we'll have virtual priests as well.
sigh....
The link Christina gave is quite an odd parody of 'All your base are belong to us'.
Paramedicgirl, my confession is between the Virtual God and myself ;)
Actually, I picked a bunch of stuff about occult sacrifices, murder and threw in "borowing" my roommates milk for good measure.
manfred, I suppose it's still an inside joke. Several years ago there was a Japanese computer game that was translated into very bad English. One of the most known lines was "All your base are belong to us". This "poem" about the pope follows the context of that scene exactly.
I suppose only a Catholic computer nerd would think it is funny...
