Regardless of your beliefs about the validity or invalidity of the n.o., everyone here hopefully knows not to ever take your phone into the confessional. It can be traced and used against you and the priest, even if it is turned off. If you must carry it inside, you must remove the battery to render it useless for surveillance. My phone remains locked and hidden in my car when in Church. That way, I won't be disturbed or even tempted to have a peek. If it's that important I be immediately reachable, I consider it a valid reason to miss Mass. I do know there are exceptions like medical or emergency personnel, etc. In that case, go to Confession with the battery removed. Hopefully, safe a general Confession for a time you need not be available.

Our jealous brothers have always wanted to violate the Sacrament of Penance.

Since their rabbinic priesthood was decapitated, they know they have no power to remit sins.

Our jealous brothers hate the Sacrament of Penance

Nothing to prevent them from wearing civies and going to a priest in a place where nobody knows them.

Several priests have told me that other priests have worn civies to confession, and that they have driven in from far away parishes, needing the drive to clear their heads, but they give clues almost immediately they are priests. Thus, the priest-confessor will ask, "Are you a priest?"

For a valid confession it is necessary to disclose any circuмstances that affect the morality of acts confessed. State of life would certainly affect the morality of the sins relevant here. So if the penitent is a priest, he must inform the confessor that he is a priest if he is trying to make a genuine confession.
That still doesn't mean the confessor knows with certainty who the penitent is.

My point, is not that a ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ abusing priest makes an anonymous, open or any other type of confession. It's that some are actually "confessing' to a good priest known to them in their circle, on purpose, to bind them to secrecy about the perversion. Like I said, it's an exercise in extortion. The "good" priest can't talk or expose them.
