I fink people just comment because they want to be heard. Not because they have anything logical to say. If u read the bible u would know that priests have the power to forgive sins. When Jesus said"for those whose sins u forgive, they are forgiven. And for those whose sins u retain, they are retained." Does that make any meaning to you?

That was Jesus's mandate to Peter, and every pope is ordained as a successor of Peter. Please lets be careful what we say, remember these men are MEN OF GOD. They are not just like ME and You.
