In a small Italian village, the local priest was hearing confession one day when a local octogenarian gentlemen came into the confessional.
"Bless me Father, for I have sinned. It's been many decades since my last confession and I need to get something off my chest ... especially considering my advanced age."
"Timing is not important, my son, the important thing is you're here now. What is it that you wish to confess?"
"Back during the war, on a cold night there was a paniced knocking on my door and when I opened it there was a desperate beautiful young Jewish girl who was trying to hide from the Nazis. She begged me to hide her and I agreed."
"Why do you think you should confess for this? What you did was heroic!"
"That's not all, Father. I agreed to hide her and feed her on the condition that she provide me with, um, sexual favors ... I am so ashamed!"
"Look my son, the war was a terrible time for us all. Even those who were on the "moral high ground" at the time might be considered to have been in a very grey area in hindsight. I'm sure that our Heavenly Father will consider the good that you did vastly outweighed the bad. I feel I can still absolve you of your sins. Just spend the next couple months helping the ministry for the poor and say 5 Hail Marys daily."
"Oh, thank you Father! You have no idea the weight that you have lifted off my shoulders!"
"Of course ... Go in peace, my son."
"Thank you, Father. But, just one more thing ... now I need some advice."
"Of course my son, what is it?"
"Should I tell her the war is over?"
