Verdict
iPieta and The Holy Catholic Bible both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 88% of iPieta's written reviews are positive against 24% of The Holy Catholic Bible's. iPieta also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ads (none vs shown). The Holy Catholic Bible's advantage is ratings volume (3.9K vs 516) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 16.6). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.
