An elderly Italian man went to his parish priest and
asked if the priest would hear his confession.

“Of course, my son,” said the priest.

“Well, Father, at the beginning of World War Two, a
beautiful woman knocked on my door and asked me to
hide her from the Germans; I hid her in my attic,
and they never found her.”

“That’s a wonderful thing, my son, and nothing that
you need to confess,” said the priest.

“It’s worse, Father; I was weak, and told her that
he had to pay for rent of the attic with her sexual
favors,” continued the old man.

“Well, it was a very difficult time, and you took a
large risk - you would have suffered terribly at
their hands if the Germans had found you hiding
her; I know that God, in his wisdom and mercy,
will balance the good and the evil, and judge you
kindly,” said the priest.

“Thanks, Father,” said the old man. “That’s a load
off of my mind. Can I ask another question?”

“Of course, my son,” said the priest.

The old man asked, “Do I need to tell her that the war is over?”
