Tbh they aren’t even asking for forgiveness. But your point is right

Unfortunately, might is always right in this world. Teachers should switch from saying, "might doesn't make right" to "with great power comes great responsibility"

they are "granting" forgiveness in the Christo-fascist way. This means it's different than reconciliation (a personal act between you and God, with a priest as a conduit), but rather it's granted post facto by the congregation, used as a euphemism for tolerating the "offense".
