I do not believe any one man from any faith can forgive him for what he did to those innocent people including young children and babies.

Neither does the Catholic church.

Catechism of the Catholic Church:
1441 Only God forgives sins.

Fr. Smith seems to understand what the Church teaches, "You must submit your will and ask God for true forgiveness."

Thank you. You said it better than I did. I always considered the priest someone to confide in, which can be awfully handy at times, but that the forgiveness was from God.
