Why do priests confess?

Roman Catholic answer

Same reason everyone does: to be forgiven! Priests are human beings, just like you and me. They make mistakes and sin just like everyone else. Even the most perfect person (except, of course, Jesus Christ, and His Blessed Mother) still falls into inadvertent venial sin. So they go to confession for the same reason everyone does: to try to be more perfect and to conform their lives to Christ.
