Can a Catholic priest forgive his own sins?
Absolutely not, confession is a tribunal of justice where you need a judge. Our judge is Jesus Christ, who has appointed priests to operate here on earth as His ears and mouth. So you absolutely need two people, one a priest of God, and the penitent - and they can not be one and the same person. When a priest goes to confession, and up until the new Code of Canon Law came out in 1983, all priests were required to go to confession at least every other week.
Do priests judge you when you go to confession?

What are the requirements of a retired Catholic priest?
The only "requirements" that I know of for a retired priest is that he should always be willing to hear a confession, if he is able, and someone asked it of him. A retired priest should be leading a exemplary Christian life, and if still capable, help out at the nearest parish. They still need to go to confession regularly, as do us all, and pray and practice their religion. I believe the only requirement is to forgive and anoint anyone who is on the brink of death.
How often does the Catholic Church say you must go to confession?
Once a year
