Nun Gives Birth to Baby and Names Him Francis
[Nun Gives Birth to Baby and Names
Him Francis Proclaiming the Gospel

"A 31-year old nun who was rushed to
hospital complaining of acute
stomach pains has given birth to a
baby boy and named him Francesco
after the Pope. The nun began to
feel severe abdominal cramps and
gave birth just a few hours later.
The discovery of her pregnancy has
embarrassed the Catholic Church in
Italy, with the local bishop saying
that she will have to leave her
convent in Rieti, north of Rome,
after breaking her vow of chastity.
"It would be preferable that she now
lead a secular life with her baby,
away from religious institutions,"
said a spokesman for the bishop of
Rieti. The nun, who is from El
Salvador, had kept her pregnancy a
secret and even as she was being
taken to hospital in an ambulance
denied that she could be pregnant.
"It's not possible, I'm a nun," she
told doctors, according to the
Italian press. The nun had been
working in an old people's home
attached to a convent. She was a
member of the Little Disciples of
Jesus order. Sisters in the convent
said they had no idea she was
expecting a baby. "We noticed she
had put on weight but recently she
had kept to herself," one said.
