Everyone knows the iphone has a pretty comprehensive range of features, but until now, there was one glaring omission – talking to God (the big bearded dude on high, not His Jobsness).

The answer to what must surely have been many a prayer has manifested itself in the shape of a miraculous new app from the Archdiocese of Boston’s television show, CatholicTV. Devout techies can take advantage of a divine range of features including reflections, Mass celebrations and recitations of the rosary.

In the unlikely event that you ever bore of the app and are yearning for just a little more religous guilt (or just want an excuse not to use a condom), why not check out the hotly anticipated Answers 4 Catholics app, when it’s released next month. Meanwhile, cast your eye over the selection on this thread. Who ever said the church was behind the times.
