Best Answer
Roman Catholic AnswerJesus Christ instituted all seven sacraments, including the sacrament of confession. As Jesus is God and knows all things (by definition, He created each one of us), He certainly did not need confession to "spy" on people. Confession is there to help the individual sinner and it has been instituted by God.
