He said that the Apostles and their heirs should absolve sins, John 20:21-23. To get a sin absolved one has to come and confess it without fear.

“To get a sin absolved one has to come and confess it without fear.”

So Jesus never commanded His priests to remain silent when they were told of horrific crimes against children. That’s something the RCC made up out of thin air.

Right?

That passage you claim supports your position doesn't.

While someone may be able to argue that Jesus conferred to His disciples the power to absolve sins, there is ZERO - NOTHING - NADA mention of their *heirs*.

That's just another Catholic fabrication.
