I do agree with your last line....only God can forgive my sin. so if that is the case, why go to the priest?

Christ told us to....whose sins you shall forgive, they are forgiven, whose sins you shall retain, they are retained......pretty clear to me.

what if you can’t make it to the priest in time before you die? sins forgiven?

Where did He tell us to go to priests when in fact, He never established a hierarchy of priests in His church.
