Confession

 An elderly Italian man, who lived on the outskirts of Romini, Italy, 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 Jewish woman from our neighborhood knocked urgently on my door and
 asked me to hide her from the Nazis. So I hid her in my attic."
 
The priest replied: "That was a wonderful thing you
 did, and you have no need to confess that."
 
"But, there is more to tell, Father. She started to
 repay me with sexual favors.
 This happened several times a week, and sometimes twice on Sundays."
 
The priest said, "That was a long time ago and by doing what you did, you placed  the two of you in great danger, but two people under those circumstances can easily succumb to the weakness of the flesh.  However, if you are truly sorry for your
 actions, you are indeed forgiven."
 
"Thank you, Father. That's a great load off my
 mind. I do have one more question."
 
"And what is that?" asked the priest.
 
"Should I tell her the war is over?
