There are calls for a Catholic priest in the US to be removed after he told the funeral of a teenage boy that he might be blocked from heaven because he committed suicide.

Pussification of America.

Using a little context instead of cherry picking is extremely helpful see below: For the sake of time, i copies from a commentary but it is basically my point. Not exactly what you are inferring.

quote:

John 20:22-23 - "Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained."


Only God can forgive sins, and Christ, being God, has the power to do so as well, but He never communicated any such power to His disciples, nor did they ever assume any such power to themselves. The key to understanding the meaning of John 20:23 lies in the previous two verses: “Again Jesus said, ‘Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.’ And with that he breathed on them and said, ‘Receive the Holy Spirit.’” He sent them, as He is sending us, to bring the good news of the way to salvation and heaven to the whole world. Jesus was leaving the earth physically but promised God would be with them in the person of the Holy Spirit living in them. As they proclaimed the gospel, they could honestly tell people who believed in that message that their sins were forgiven, and they could honestly tell people that did not believe in the message that their sins were not forgiven and that they stand condemned in God’s eyes. Jesus said, “Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on him” (John 3:36).

Right, so explain what goes on in a confessional, and the practice of selling indulgences.

You're right. "As the Father has sent me, I am sending you." Which is why in the very next verse, Christ gives his Apostles the ability to forgive sins.

Where do you see the words “to forgive sins” in that verse?

Please point them out.

it seems to me he was giving them the commandment to share the good news and way to salvation. Which is a charge all Christians have, not just priests or the apostles.

if that charge includes the right to forgive sin, then why we need Jesus or God

In that case I can just forgive you and you forgive me for all our sins and we're good

Not.

And certainly not down the line for centuries to and through evil, wicked men who do unspeakable things to their fellow man.

Inb4: Doesn't the priest have some alter boys to rape/molest instead of judging this depressed young man?

Too late, every Tom, Dick, and Harry on this board thinks they’re the first person to make a pedophile priest joke. Cause you know, there are hundreds of thousands of priests and every single one is a pedophile!

Raised Catholic, gave up the faith, is now expert on the Catholic faith. Seems legit.
