The unimaginable has happened! A 31-year-old Salvadorean nun gave BIRTH to a beautiful baby boy on Wednesday. Considering the absolute fact that a nun is supposed to be abstinent, the birth of a child is rather surprising. When asked about her pregnancy, the nun claimed she thought she had stomach cramps/pains. She was later hospitalized; there she found she was pregnant. The baby boy weighs 3.5 kilograms (7.7 pounds). There are no further details on how the baby was conceived as she has not admitted - nor denied - her breaking of the rules. Obviously she is not Mother Mary and she is not carrying baby Jesus, so it should be interesting to see how the Church deals with this. So far, it has been nothing but positive feedback: "other new mothers in Rieti hospital have begun collecting clothes and donations for her." She named the boy Francesco - a name famous in Italy - but she most likely named him after the Pope's chosen title or Saint Francis of Assisi, who is the nation's beloved patron saint. There have been many outrageous events recently, but a pregnant nun has to be up there as one of the top most unbelievable events.
