The Elderly Italian Gentleman...
An elderly Italian man who lived on the
outskirts of Monte Casino 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
woman knocked on my door and
asked me to hide her from the enemy. 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."
"It's worse than that, Father. She started
to repay me with sexual favors."
The priest said, "By doing that, you were
both in great danger. However,
two people under those circumstances can be
very tempted to act that way. But
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?" asked the priest.
"Should I tell her the war is over?"
