A preacher is an overseer. Biblically it must be a man above reproach. In our Christian Society it is a man above being reproached

Christ gave his Apostles the authority to forgive sins. "Whose sins you forgive, they are forgiven. Whose sins you retain, they are retained" This authority was also given to the Bishops and Priests who followed after the Apostles. The Sacrament of Penance is the liturgical celebration of God's forgiveness of the sins of the penitent, who is reconciled with God and the Church, The act of the penitent, contrition, the confession of sins and satisfaction or reparation together with the prayer of absolution by the Priest, constitute the essential elements of the Sacrament of Penance
