But you may ask, very well, but why should I confess my sins to a priest? Maybe not as holy as I am. A man cannot forgive sins. The priest in the sacrament is only the instrument of Christ. He gives our Lord his voice. It is Christ who forgives and the words of absolution means, I Christ of thousands.
