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 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 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?"
