And if that's not quite right, about the priest standing in Christ's stead, someone with better Catechesis than me will correct it.

John 20:21-23


21 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me,
even so send I you.
22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye
the Holy Ghost:
23 Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye
retain, they are retained.
