Remember the Catechism
of the Catholic Church’s definition of a sacrament:
A sacrament is an outward sign instituted
by Christ to give grace.
Our Lord instituted the sacraments, and the
Church has the duty of preserving their integrity.

When Was
Confession Instituted? | Catholic Answers
Only
God can fully forgive sin
“If we confess our sins,
He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins
and to
cleanse us from all unrighteousness”
Your
sin is blotted out in 'Heaven' not on 'Earth'!
(1
John 1:9).
God’s
forgiveness is supreme in that He cleanses one from sin or
“blots
out your transgressions”
(Isaiah
43:25). This authority is reserved for God.
John 20:23: Did Jesus Give Authority to Forgive Sins?
John 20:23
“Whose soever
sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain,
they are retained.”
The anointing of
the Holy Spirit makes this possible.
These disciples
are extensions of Jesus’ ministry.
Just as Jesus
said, when two agree as touching anything on this earth it shall be done of my
Father in heaven.
This verse does
not give authority to Christians to forgive sins.
Jesus was saying that the believer can boldly declare the certainty of a sinner’s
forgiveness by the Father because of the work of His son
if that sinner has repented and
believed the gospel.
