Catholic AnswerI believe you are thinking of judicial penalty, not sins. Any sin can be forgiven by any competent confessor. Particular penalty that are imposed are normally forgiven or remitted by the Ordinary (the local Bishop) unless they are reserved to the Holy See.

from Code of Canon Law, translation prepared under the auspices of the Canon Law Society of America, Nihil obstat: + Anthony J. Bevilacqua, J.C.D.; Imprimatur: Rev. Msgr. John F. Donoghue, Canon Law Society of America, Washington D.C.

Any priest, with faculties, or even without faculties (if the penitent is in danger of death) validly and licitly absolves from any kind of censure and sin any penitent who is in danger of death, even if an approved priest is present.

The absolution of an accomplice in a sin against the sixth commandment of the Decalogue is invalid, except in danger of death.

A bishop can normally remit an inflicted or automatic penalty (ferendae sententiae or latae sententiae) established by a precept not issued by the Holy See.

What does deacon mean?

The term deacon comes from the Greek word "diaconos" which means a servant. However, in the Christian Church, the term is mainly used to describe a man who is training to become a priest, and is the first 'order' of clergy before being made a priest, but he can also remain a deacon without later becoming a priest. The three levels or 'orders' of ordination are deacon, priest, and bishop. In most cases, a deacon acts as an assistant to a priest.
