Go to confession in the church you belong to.
Go to confession, be absolve, resolve not to repeat the same old sins, get counseling if need be. The priests have heard.it.all.
You’re not the first.
Tell the priest of your struggle and follow his advice to the letter.

If you were absolved, no.
You need to stick to one church.

Orthodox priests aren’t generally inclined to give sacraments to non members of their own communion. This query is just theoretical. It would have to be a remarkable set of circumstances for this to be relevant.But stay Catholic…do I need to repeat the sins to Catholic priest again…Is the confession valid?

Did he say the prayers of absolution ?
If so - you are absolved and you need to do nothing more.
If you feel uncomfortable about it - mention it to your own priest next time you see him.
Be at peace

Thank to all of you,God bless you!
Can we be sure of this? Priests need faculties to validly absolve Catholics.Did he say the prayers of absolution ?

Orthodox priests do not have jurisdiction over us. That’s why the question of faculties arises.

Generally, of course, Catholics are to receive the Sacraments from Catholic ministers.
That being said, a confession/absolution between an Orthodox priest and Catholic penitent may well be valid. The law of the Church lays out conditions for its liceity (lawfulness) and so, if it can be licit in some circumstances, it is obviously valid in those circumstances, too. See canon 844.2.
Whether or not it is valid and licit in a particular case, I won’t offer an opinion.

The relevant text from Canon 844 deserves to be cited because it is very clear.Can we be sure of this? Priests need faculties to validly absolve Catholics.
Orthodox priests do not have jurisdiction over us. That’s why the question of faculties arises.
§2. Whenever necessity requires it or true spiritual advantage suggests it, and provided that danger of error or of indifferentism is avoided, the Christian faithful for whom it is physically or morally impossible to approach a Catholic minister are permitted to receive the sacraments of penance, Eucharist, and anointing of the sick from non-Catholic ministers in whose Churches these sacraments are valid.

Aside: so long as that Orthodox priest actually has faculties from his own bishop.

This is probably just an academic question, but isn’t the Catholic Church, through the canon cited by Don_Ruggero above, giving the minister the necessary faculties? (the supreme authority of the Catholic Church of course has jurisdiction over them by virtue of their baptism–this fact being one of the primary bases for the affirmation of partial communion).Aside: so long as that Orthodox priest actually has faculties from his own bishop.
I’m also asking in light of this from Lumen Gentium (not sure if it has since been definitively settled):
It seems if it has not been settled, the safer approach would be to rely on the Catholic Church’s jurisdiction, rather than any putative jurisdiction among the separated Eastern Churches.N.B. Without hierarchical communion the ontologico-sacramental function [munus], which is to be distinguished from the juridico-canonical aspect, cannot be exercised. However, the Commission has decided that it should not enter into question of liceity and validity. These questions are left to theologians to discuss—specifically the question of the power exercised de facto among the separated Eastern Churches, about which there are various explanations."
