The Stockholm Post website reports today (March 1, 2010) that a pay telephone line for Roman Catholics in France to confess their sins has drawn criticism from French bishops.
"For advice on confessing, press one. To confess, press two. To listen to some confessions, press three," says a soothing male voice, welcoming the caller to "Le Fil du Seigneur," or "The Line of the Lord" service.
"In case of serious or mortal sins -- that is, sins that have cut you off from Christ our Lord -- it is indispensable to confide in a priest," says the 0.34 euros-a-minute service.
The Conference of French Bishops -- which groups France's Catholic leaders -- warned in a statement that the line had "no approval from the Catholic Church in France."
