If God promises to forgive our sins if we confess them, then why did Jesus allegedly give the power to retain sins to a man?

If the priest thinks that the person is not sincere in his confession, just doing it because he feels that he will be automatically forgiven, the priest might attempt to counsel with the person, but if he detects a lack of sincerity, he is free to refuse remission.
