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.
