Confession
An elderly Italian man who lived on the outskirts of Naples, 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 neighbourhood 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
"There is more to tell, Father. She started to
repay me with sexual favours. 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?''
