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?
