Catholic Church investigates after two missionary nuns became pregnant
The Catholic Church has launched an investigation after two missionary nuns became pregnant while working in Africa, Daily Mail reported.
The two women, who belonged to separate religious orders in Sicily, are expecting children despite their vows of chastity.
One of them, a mother superior, found she was several weeks pregnant while the other woman discovered the news when she complained of stomach pain.
Both nuns are now facing pressure to quit religious life and the scandal has caused 'consternation' among the clergy.
