So that jesus can torture the bad persons.
For sharing between users, as I understand it.
Username, password is all they need for that. Idiots.
The Catholic Church is known for a lot of things. Keeping up with the times (or cyber security) isn't one of them.
"We are gathered here today because your thoughts and prayers did not secure our app"
Vatican Programmer: Oh, mighty Lord, sitting in the Sky, show me the way to this bug I seek and eliminate ineffectiveness. Amen.

Still better than vibe coding

So uh.. what does a prayer app even do?
See, humans are smart. Praying and blessing things yourself? By hand, so to speak? Boooo! Pedestrian! Ain't nobody got time fo dat!
the Tibetans believe the prayers and mantras will be blown by the wind to spread the good will and compassion into all pervading space. Therefore, prayer flags are thought to bring benefit to all.
By hanging flags in high places the Lung ta will carry the blessings depicted on the flags to all beings. As wind passes over the surface of the flags, which are sensitive to the slightest movement of the wind, the air is purified and sanctified by the mantras.
I choose to believe that the prayer app is just a hip, new and with it innovation in prayer spreading.
It connects users across the globe to pray for the Holy Father’s intentions, and as of July 2026, it has 719,517 registered accounts
The only two screenshots they have on GPlay feature prayer scheduling and sharing your prayer.
Damn, with that many people praying these prayers are about to get real effective. I'm surprised we haven't heard of their effects and effectiveness yet.
Is JD Vance in here? He's supposed to be Catholic right?
Alcoholic, not Catholic!
It still works lmao
No email and some other stuff though.... maybe they just removed that from the endpoint?
lmao did they vibe patch it or smth
If sinners go to hell, do you even have to do due diligence? Let us pray for the vulnerability to disappear.
Misread it as
Pope's official prayer app, "Cardinal Sin"...
a pope app? perfect for indulgence micro transactions
I think they patched that one a while ago
To borrow a tenet from another abrahamic religion, trust in God, but tie up your camel.
Wow not a good look.
