New York Daily NewsTwo nuns went to Africa and came back pregnant. The Catholic church is investigating
It could just be a miracle, but the Catholic church is investigating how two nuns became pregnant while on separate missionary trips in Africa.
The two women, who belonged to different orders in Sicily, Italy, both became pregnant while visiting their home countries, according to the Italian outlet ASNA.
One woman, a mother superior, discovered her pregnancy while working with fallen women and their children and left Italy for her home country of Madagascar, the ASNA report said.
The second woman complained of stomach pains upon her return to Italy and discovered via an ultrasound that she, too, was pregnant, according to the ASNA report. Both women are unsurprisingly expected to leave the order to raise their children.

My mom told my dad that I was a miracle from the delivery room, but then the phone went dead.
His friends asked if it was a boy or a girl, and he replied, "She said it's a mackerel."
