No. I am claiming you do not know the sacrament of Reconciliation, where the priest stands in Christ's place, as one of His successors to hear sins confessed.

I would agree. That one baffles both me and St. Mark.

Peter didn't know about that sacrement either: In Acts 8, he was presented with a perfect opportunity to forgive a guy's sin and assign the guy a few Rosaries and Our Fathers. He DIDN'T do anything like that.

Acts 8:20 But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.
21 Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God.
22 Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.
