So, then, by the grace of God my Savior freely given to me, I confess my sins, acknowledge my sorrow and repentence to my confessor, and receive from him the statement that my sins are forgiven. Actually, unless your confessor is Jesus Himself, you've just wasted your time.
Nobody can receive grace to enable a spiritual act from another human being. It comes from God alone.

“Nobody can receive grace to enable a spiritual act from another human being. It comes from God alone.”
So Jesus was a liar when he told Peter, “whatsoever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven?”
Seems pretty clear to me that Christ chose to endow the apostles with the authority to forgive sins.
