"Well then, by Catholic reasoning, since I also have the Holy Spirit in me, then *I* can forgive or retain sins."

Nope, not now, not never! You haven't been ordained by the laying on of the hands and do not have the right plumbing for that to ever happen.

Peace be with you

Now that’s funny.....

Nevertheless, I don’t see any of those conditions laid on the church by Jesus Himself in that passage.

Here is another example of Catholicism creating their own doctrine outside of what Scripture says. When Jesus gave his commission and the Holy Spirit with the message of the forgiveness of sins through the gospel (note this was BEFORE Pentecost) he had appeared to the "disciples" who had gathered in the upper room. He addressed these same disciples which INCLUDED Mary Magdelene as well as Jesus' mother, Mary:

John 20:19-20 On the evening of that first day of the week, when the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the Jewish leaders, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” After he said this, he showed them his hands and side. The disciples were overjoyed when they saw the Lord.

So, this idea that women were not included in the "great commission" is a false one which resulted from a faulty reading and understanding of Scripture and, over time, the doctrines of Catholic Church superceding the Word of God.
