The Confession
Posted: September 18th, 2006, 5:40 pm
An elderly man went to Cassino and 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?"
