Does the Bible tell us to confess our sins to a priest or to God?


A Catholic person is taught to look for forgiveness by confessing all their serious or mortal sins to a priest. This official teaching is found in the Catholic Catechism, paragraph 1497, Individual and integral confession of grave sins followed by absolution (by a priest) remains the only ordinary means of reconciliation with God and with the Church.  This brings to light the contrast between venial sin and mortal sin and who defines these terms. However, the real issue that needs to be addressed is, does the Bible  tell us to confess our sins to a priest or to God.
