How ridiculous to imply that ANY MAN be able to forgive us our sins!!!No person, priest or otherwise, is capable of such... if there is proof to the contrary, in Scripture, pleaseeeee... Show me.
John 20:21Again Jesus said, "Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you." 22And with that he breathed on them and said, "Receive the Holy Spirit. 23If you forgive anyone his sins, they are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven."
Now show me the dogma of sola scriptura in the Bible.
"As the Father has sent me, so I send you." And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, "Receive the holy Spirit. Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them, and whose sins you retain are retained."
Well, they are "any" men.
