I thought about saying “you know it’s a grift when they collect personal information and leak it.” According to their Bible, you don’t need an app to pray. They say church (or a covenant, I forget, it’s been 30+ years since I read the KJV) is when any two people come together to talk about Jesus (sorry!). So, where does an app fit in? And why does that app need your personally identifiable information (referred to as PII in industry). Wouldn’t an all-knowing God already have it?

But you don’t have to know it’s a grift… I feel like this is proof the Vatican (or whoever made this app on their behalf, and thus speak on their behalf… and the Pope allegedly speaks on God’s behalf) themselves know it’s a grift. Because why would they need your PII?

I know, fools and their money are soon parted… just saw this on /all and figured the Fediverse’s top Atheism comm should have it.

    Yikes, an IDOR in 2026.

    However, the Pope is not responsible for this app, he simply endorsed it. The Vatican did not make this app, nor do the developers “speak on behalf” of the Vatican.

    The email addresses are a part of basic login data tied to any functional account, but the names I think are a bit excessive

      Kind of like your god isn’t responsible for catholics molesting kids, he just endorses it?

      If he didn’t, it wouldn’t happen. Or is he too weak to stop it?

      It is sick that people like you actively defend this horseshit. Stop hiding from accountability. Stop normalizing selfish delusion.

        he gave us free will, he isnt responsible for what WE do through free will.

        If I gifted my friend who was aspiring to become a chef a box of knives and he stabbed someone, would I be responsible?

          If you were all-powerful and knew that would happen, YES, it is absolutely your fault. EVERYTHING WOULD BE YOUR DOING.
