Apparently you never took a comparative religion course in college.
Episcopalians (church of England, Anglican, etc) have Priests and are Protestants. The religion was founded when King Henry VIII broke with the pope when Henry wanted still another divorce and to remarry and the Pope refused. Henry made his own church and confiscated all the lands and valuables of the Catholic church in England. These priests may marry.
Eastern Orthodox churches also have Priests.
Catholic and Episcopalians have confession. Yes, Catholics confess to things that are not ‘committed acts’ but impure thoughts.
