In the Catholic church, a priest is the only one who can grant absolution on behalf of Jesus. In extremis, when a priest is unavailable, anyone can hear confession.

II Cor. 5:17-21 - Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away behold, all things are become new.And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
Q. To whom has the ministry of reconciliation been given?
A. All who have been reconciled to God by Christ Jesus. All born again Christians or new creatures in Christ. We are all to be ambassadors for Christ and be reconciled to God.

You. It starts with one individual at a time.
