An elderly Italian man who lived on the
outskirts of Rimini, Italy, 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, 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, 'That was a long time ago and
by doing what you did, you placed the two of you
in great danger. But 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. I do have one more question.'
'And what is that?' asked the priest.
"Should I tell her the war is over?'
