Catholic Church investigates after two missionary nuns become pregnant

(KYMA)-A Catholic Church is investigating two nuns after returning from missionary work pregnant.

The Sun reports both women were posted to their home continent as part of their charity mission.

Reports said one of the women, who is 34 discovered she was pregnant after having a medical scan, complaining of stomach pains.

A church in Roma said, "There is consternation at this news. It appears that both women were back in their home nations and obviously had some form of a sexual encounter. An investigation has been launched. They both breached strict rules of chastity but the welfare of their children is uppermost. The most likely outcome is they will leave their religious service."
