An elderly man who lived on the outskirts of Rome went to church for confession.
He 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 said, "That was a wonderful thing you did my son,
and you have no need to confess that".
"It's worse than that, Father... She paid me with sexual favours!"
The priest said: "Two people together under those circumstances are greatly tempted to act that way. But if you are truly sorry for your actions, you are forgiven."
"Thank you, Father. That's a great load off my mind. But I have one more question."
"And what is that?" said the priest.
"Should I tell her the war is over?"
