Nun gives birth to baby named after Pope

A Catholic nun from El Salvador has given birth to a baby boy in Italy - and named the child after Pope Francis

A 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 31-year-old nun began to feel severe abdominal cramps on Wednesday 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 Delio Lucarelli, 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.

So much for being forgiven.

The Church has rules, she broke them and her vow. Forgiveness is between her and The Lord.

Dare I ask how this happened? I mean, a nun? ::whatgives:: ::facepalm::
Who knocks up a nun? That has to be an express ticket to Hell, eh?

Hopefully she didn't name the kid after his father ;)

I can see the point. But to never be able to worship in the church again. That I'm not sure I agree with.

I understand. He does not have the authority to prevent her from Church worship. All are welcome, but no more "service".

Well, heck. Maybe if would have actually read the article, I would have caught that. ::bashing::
Thanks for the clarification, Pan.
