A GOOD CATHOLIC
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?" :sneaky:
