women were coming forward
with fatherless
pregnancy claims,
they weren't taken seriously.
as they always had.
that it was pointless.
We tried to tell them
what was going on,
but they didn't
want to listen.
They never listened.
But if you'd looked a little
closer, you would have seen that
beneath the women's dutiful,
prim and proper exteriors,
there was a simmering anger
getting ready to boil over.
And then Sister Isabella
came along.
She was living in
a convent in the hills
outside of a small town
in Northern Spain.
Men were strictly forbidden
from entering the convent,
and even if she had wanted
to break her vows,
given the remote location and the
watchfulness of the other nuns,
it would have been impossible
for her to sneak away.
Yet, Sister Isabella discovered,
to her utter dismay
that she was pregnant.
One could argue that if this had
happened in a different time,
the Church may have very well
embraced Sister Isabella,
canonized her
as a living saint,
and perhaps even
looked upon her baby
as the return
of their Messiah.
But then again,
she had a daughter,
so that would
have thrown a wrench
into the Biblical narrative,
wouldn't it?
All we do know is
that the Church wanted
nothing to do
with Sister Isabella.
The Congregation of Causes of
Saints was ordered to destroy
the report they had written,
and deny that they had
ever heard her claim.
They told us
it was for the best.
In the tiny village
of Burgos, Spain,
a group of nuns are
telling a whale of a story.
Meet Sister Isabella.
Though it's hard to tell with
that habit on, she's pregnant.
And guess who they're
saying the father is?
No one.
That's right, it's another
so-called fatherless pregnancy.
The last thing the Catholic
Church expected was that
a devout order of Spanish nuns would
not only break their vow of silence,
anyone who would listen.
is a joke, but it is not.
It is happening more and more, and the
government needs to acknowledge it.
They need to wake up and
or they are going to be sorry.
We would like women
everywhere to know
that despite the world's
scientific community
being unanimous
in their belief
that fatherless pregnancies
are impossible,
we intend to study
this matter vigorously.
And I have no doubt that,
one way or another,
we will be able to put this whole
matter to rest once and for all.
For as long as history has
been recorded we have seen,
with civilization
after civilization,
that once
they are very
reluctant to give it up.
