An elderly Italian man who lived on the outskirts of Montecassino went to
the local church for confession.
When the priest slid open the panel in the confessional, the man said,
"Father ... during World War II, a beautiful Jewish woman from our
neighborhood knocked urgently on my door and asked me to hide her from
the Nazis. So I hid her in my attic."
The priest replied, "That was a wonderful thing you did, my son! And you
have no need to confess that."
"There is more to tell, Father. She started to repay me with sexual
favors. This happened several times a week, and sometimes twice on
Sundays."
The priest said, "By doing that, you placed yourselves in great danger.
However, two people under those circumstances can easily succumb to the
weakness of the flesh. However, if you are truly sorry for your
actions, you are indeed forgiven."
"Thank you, Father. That's a great load off my mind. But I do have one more
question."
"And what is that, my son?" asked the priest.
"Should I tell her the war is over?"
