Elderly Italian Man

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 door to the confessional, the man said: ..
“Father forgive me for I have sinned. 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?
