The brooch says Love Conquers All. In Chaucer's depiction of the nun he strives for the reader to recognize the irony of the character. For instance, he mocks her singing by noting it is threw the nose. He also suggests that her French is a bane attempt at impressing others because it was learned in London. Furthermore, the nun's feeding of the dogs is shameful because at the time being there was a multitude of starving children. Hence, the simple fact that the nun owns a gold brooch is eye-raising. The nun's were meant to not live lavish lives. Furthermore, what interest should a nun have in love. Her duty is to god.

What was a nun's priest?

If you're referring to Chaucer's Canterbury tales in which the "Nun's Priest Tale" is one of them, then it's the story of a male chicken who learns the lesson to not give into flattery. The person who is telling the story doesn't have a long description, but from what I know he's a witty preacher who seems to not want to draw attention to himself.

What pilgrim would most likely give absolution to a character in the Canterbury Tales?

The Pardoner could sell one of the pilgrims an Indulgence - but this really isn't the same thing as offering 'absolution'. 'Absolution' is a technical term in the Catholic church (Chaucer was a Roman Catholic - so are all the pilgrims). Absolution means forgiving a sin, an Indulgence just removes the punishment due to it. (Absolution is something like a 'not guilty' verdict. An Indulgence is more like paying someone's fine for them). Under normal circumstances, only an ordained priest can offer absolution. Among the Canterbury pilgrims, The Friar, The Parson, and the Nuns' Priest all have the power to give absolution. The Friar doesn't seem very interested in priestly duties (he behaves as if he considers the pilgrimage as a holiday). So the Nuns' Priest will probably give any absolution necessary to the Nuns, and the Parson is likely to give absolution to any other pilgrim.
