"Following his glorious Resurrection, Jesus conferred on the apostles the power to forgive sins… Jesus met with the apostles and said to them, in particular:
‘Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I send you. And when he said this, he breathed on them , and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven: if you retain the sins of any, they are retained’ (John 20: 21-23)"
