Forgiveness

Post by **Gord** » Tue Dec 06, 2005 8:40 pm

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" said the old man , 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 tense 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 is a great load off my mind. However, I do have one more question."

"And what is that?" asked the priest.

"Should I tell her the war is over?"

Gord, that's funny!
I'm sending it on to my brother & son, both WWII buffs; and Fabrizio my "Italian Brother" in Milan. His grand dad started and ran the resistance movement in the Frioli region in NE Italy.
They will all laugh their butts off!
I especially appreciate you and your posts right now...

I saw "No one expects the Inquisition" shirts advertised the other day.
