Hi, guys —
- If, many years ago, you went to Confession quite frequently, but did not know you had to say the number of times you committed a mortal sin, because you didn't know the protocol, are you now obliged to mention these mortal sins at your next Confession, somehow estimating the number?
I have read, in (Quicumque Vult [the Athanasian Creed]) [EWTN][Wikipedia], that you would not need to confess these sins in your next Confession as you were ignorant of the protocol.

If you were ignorant to confessing the no. of mortal sins, do you have to disclose them next time? }

Yes, that is true.
Do it to the best of your ability going forward, but don't worry about the past.
