Can priests absolve themselves of sin? I mean i understand they wouldn’t be able to get as much help with their sins if they don’t talk to someone about them, but if they needed to, could they?

I’m fairly certain that each priest has a confessor. You might want to ask other people about that. I’m no expert.

No, priests have to confess to other priests just like the rest of us. John Paul II was known to confess quite often.

Not even if the plane were going down. . . he could absolve everyone else on board, but would have to muster up a perfect act of contrition if he were in a state of mortal sin, and, if he survived the crash, would have to find a confessor as soon as possible.Can priests absolve themselves of sin?

The Sacraments require a minister and a recipient.

2 things about Matrimony…First it is regulated by the state or county, so you need someone who can validly witness the marriage…who has powers vested in themselves.
Secondly as a sacrament, a priest or a deacon witnesses the marriage in the form of Jesus, as in any sacrament…the couple actually performs the marriage.

With respect to matrimony, each partner confers the sacrament on the other; it is the dual consent of the husband and wife that is the essence of the sacrament.
