Unable to confess to another person.
It is the reconciliation between God and the sinner. A priest hangs around for support.
The Catholic Church believes that "Only God forgives sin."
When a penitent person asks God for forgiveness, his (or his) sins are immediately forgiven.
Catholics also believe that when someone sins that not only hurt their relationship with God, but also hurt the whole church, the body of Christ.
Jesus said, "I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. What bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. "(Matthew 16:19)
And when he had said this, breathed on them and told them: "Receive the Holy Spirit. Who forgives sins are forgiven, whose sins you retain are retained. " (Luke 20:22-23)
Oral confess our sins, it is recommended over and over again in both the Old and New Testament:
+ James 5:16
Acts 19:18 +
+ Matthew 3:5-6
+ Mark 1:5
+ 1 Timothy 6:12
+ 1 John 1:9
+ Numbers 5:6-7
Nehemiah 9:2 +
Sir + 4:26
The Sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation with a priest ordained in the name of Jesus Christ not only reconciles the sinner to God, but with the whole church, including you and me.

With love in Christ.
I am a Roman Catholic. No you can not confess on behalf of another person.
What would you like to tell a complete stranger that?
Oh, I forgot. Religion!
I am Catholic.
you can not confess his sins to another priest.
1) must be the sinner repented of their sins
2) you can not really be sure that your friend wants the forgiveness of sin.
3) in confession the priest gives a penance to help the sinner atone for sin, the priest may also give useful tips to help the sinner not to sin and say they may have.
4) to ask for forgiveness on his behalf, means that only one of their sins and other sins can hinder proper acquittal.
the only thing we can do is pray for your friend (s) and ask the intercession of the saints and blessed mother Mary. here are some sites that you enjoy and that can help your friend (s)

Always feel free to address this with your priest and any other questions you may have. I hope this helps and God bless you, your family and friends.
No.
People who do not feel sorry for their actions should never be forgiven by them.
Making only encourage them to do so again.
No, forgiveness can only be given to the sinners. You can not force your friend to go to confession, as they have to be willing to forgive and the pain of their sin in themselves.
Pray for your friend, and a good example, but not force the issue.
In the end, only God makes all the judgemements!
No, you can not confess on behalf of another person. Reason being, while it might be the penalty for sin, the author of sin may not, in which case the confession does not make sense.
You can pray that the other person comes to recognize the sin that was committed, and as a result are forced to seek forgiveness through confession itself.
I am Catholic, and if it makes you feel better by all means do. His father is there to listen and that, although probably ask your friend to make the confession knows everything you have asked forgiveness of a sinner is the right thing. Christ did not say "Father forgive them for they know not what they do?
confession by proxy? um no!
No, its every man for himself.
NO, its commendable that you want to do, but that for a confession to being a true confession of the person who committed the sin must repent and acknowledge his sins and receive absolution for themselves.
