(The 1st was in Genesis 2:7 where God “breathes” life into Adam; here God “breathes” the Holy Spirit into the Apostles, and gives them, and their successors, the authority to forgive or retain sins.) What sins are retained? The ones you refuse to confess!! (To the Protestant, verses 21-23, taken together, make no sense, (Confession to a representative of the Apostles, a priest) but there they are!
