Deacons in the Catholic Church do not have the sacramental authority to hear confessions and grant absolution. Only priests and bishops have the power to administer the sacrament of reconciliation. Deacons can assist in the sacramental life of the Church, but their role does not include this specific function. They may, however, offer guidance and support in other pastoral capacities.
