One of the problems of requiring a mortal intermediary as a basis of one's religion......One can confess/repent directly with God and take care of his soul and not require another man to remain silent about his atrocities.
Confession, other than as a psychological tool to help ease one's mental anguish, like prayer, can be done privately and just between one and God.
