The presence of God's grace in the holy sacrament of Penance is what gives it a "luxury/premium" quality regardless of the physical environment. An app, which does not confer God's grace, can never be "luxury/premium" for this reason and can not "disrupt" the sacrament.

- jrcii 11y agoFrom the perspective of the Catholic faith, God can do whatever He pleases provided it's logical and consistent with His past promises. While God could decide to grant the pardon and grace of the sacrament through an app, the Church expects the Holy Spirit would inform us of such a decision. It also seems highly unlikely since it would be antithetical to the theological premise of Penance, in which the humility required to confess your sins directly to another human is central.
