"Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.” When he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.” - John 20:21-23 Well then, by Catholic reasoning, since I also have the Holy Spirit in me, then *I* can forgive or retain sins.

Peace be with you
