“Seek where you will, throughout heaven and earth, and you will find but one created being who can forgive the sinner, who can free him from the chains of hell: and that extraordinary being is the priest, the Catholic priest.
‘Who can forgive sins except God?’ was the question which the Pharisees sneeringly asked. ‘Who can forgive sins?’ is the question which the Pharisees of the present day also ask, and I answer: There is a man on earth that can forgive sins, and that man is the Catholic priest” (Michael Müller, God the Teacher of Mankind, 1882, p. 332).”
