Why do Catholics confess to a a priest when the Bible says only God can forgive you?
The reason Catholics confess to a priest is because they claim that the priest is simply relaying what you said to God. But, even this statement is contradicting the Bible. 1 Timothy 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; There is only one "middle-man" between you and God, and that is the man Christ Jesus. So unless we put Catholicism in authority over what the Bible actually says, the Catholics are 100% wrong in the case of confessing their sins to a priest.

He doesn't have to be any certain age, but he is usually chosen from the Cardinals of the Church. A man is may not be ordained to the priesthood until he is 25. Very few priests are chosen as Bishop until they are in their forties or fifties. Most Cardinals are chosen from the Bishops, so, in the ordinary course of affairs, nowadays, a man would not be appointed Cardinal until he was in his 50's, and Popes are usually chosen from among the Cardinals. Pope John Paul II was chosen as Pope in his 50's.
