You seem to have overlooked the previous verses in John 20:

[22] When he had said this, he breathed on them; and he said to them: Receive ye the Holy Ghost. [23] Whose sins you shall forgive, they are forgiven them; and whose sins you shall retain, they are retained.

No, but God promises to forgive us if we confess and I'm holding to that. Not what the Catholic church claims Jesus' words "really" mean.

1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

God overrules any human priest any day of the week.
