A Swiss Catholic church installed an AI Jesus in a confessional to interact with visitors.

The installation was a two-month project in religion, technology and art titled âDeus in Machina ,â created at the University of Lucerne .

A confessional is a booth where Catholic priests hear parishioners' confessions of their sins and grant them absolution.

Since 1975 , Catholics have three forms of the rite of penance and reconciliation.

The first form structures private confession, while the second and third forms apply to groups of people in special liturgical rites.

Pope Francis himself has become concerned with reviving the sacrament, writes Frida Ghitis .
