Yes, different words... spells it out more clearly, at least to the eyes of those who would bash us on this site. But the theology is the same.

" But the theology is the same."

Is it? Doesn't the "Absolvo te of the Latin Rite demonstrate that the absolution is coming from the priest whereas in the Orthodox formulation it is clear that absolution is from God? This has implications for the fundamental difference between the nature of the grace conferred by the sacrament, created (Latin) and uncreated (Orthodox).
