If you only know about nuns through movies and television, then you might think that all nuns wield rulers while singing, dancing and flying. When the ruler comes out, beware — that’s a sign that the nun is mean or frigid.

Two nuns are being investigated by the Catholic Church after they became pregnant during missionary trips. The African women, who are from different orders in Sicily , reportedly got pregnant while on separate missions to their home country.

The women will be able to choose whether to leave the Order and raise their children, according to the Gazzetta del Sud. The year-old nun has been moved to a different order in Palermo, while the mother superior, thought to be about one month pregnant, returned home to Madagascar. Pope Francis earlier this year admitted for the first time that the Catholic Church has an ongoing issue with priests and even bishops sexually abusing nuns.
