The logical solution would be to do away with confession. It’s not in the bible and no one else has a middleman. Christians just go straight to the source, why can’t Catholics?

James 5:16 Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed.

Someone has evidently misinformed you. Catholics go "straight to the source" too. Every day. Who told you we can't? (Seriously. I am interested in knowing who has misled you with this elementary misinformation.)

Who was the so-called "middleman" to whom these words were said (I've even used the King James Version since it seems like some will accept only it):

John 20:23 Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.
