Why not. If you can go to a secluded place to bleep that small amaka so that nobody will see you. U can apply d same scope to confess. In fact in the same secluded place u did it

Why not focus on confessing your sins to the God who through Jesus Christ can completely wipe away your sins if you truly repentant?

The Priest is just flesh and blood like you and I.

Confessing your sins to God requires no form of technology. Just talk to Him from the heart...

A priest can pray 4 u on phone, but he wont give any sacrament on phone. sacrament has valid form, matter... they require personal presence. confession is a sacrament, it cant be administered on phone or online, these are sacred event, very personal.
So no, baptism, communion, confirmation, confession, anoiting d sick, ordination and matrimony cant be administered online or by phone, u need a minister with d right form and matter to personaly administer sacraments.
besides A phone isnt really safe, ur phone can b tapped, a third party wit d right tech may b listening.

why would u want to confess ur sins throu a phone call?
