No confessions online
"Where two or three gather in my name, there I will always be"... I seem to remember something along those lines in the New Testament as said by Jesus but the Vatican thinks where the internet is concerned it should read "where two or three and a priest...".

Several churches are already broadcasting sermons on the internet. Admittedly most of these are of the protestant or one of the other evangelical denominations. But the catholic church is ignoring the potential outreach as it declares that the acceptance of confessions is not allowed on the internet. Unfortunately the article does not elaborate on why the Vatican should feel this way.
