Does anyone know if there was a need to re-confess invalidly absolved sins after the reconciliation of the traditional priests of Bishop de Castro Mayer, of the diocese of Campos, Brazil?

My understanding is that regardless of whether past confessions were valid, unless the penitent is conscious of unabsolved mortal sins, they do not need to be confessed. The next valid confession the penitent makes remits *all *sin so long as the penitent is sorrowful and gives a good confession.
