In the Catholic Church’s mission to carry its message into the era of social media, Pope Benedict has issued a challenge to young entrepreneurs who, he hopes, can find new ways to spread the church’s message without alteration. The Takeaway speaks to one such revolutionary entrepreneur who has taken up the challenge. Patrick Leinen is the co-founder of Little iApps and creator of The Confession App, which facilitates Catholics who aim to seek penance for their sins. In this conversation he explains how faith based apps like his, may introduce the world to Catholicism 2.0.
