women were coming forward

with fatherless

pregnancy claims,

they weren't taken seriously.

So things seemed to carry on

as they always had.

I think there was a sense

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,

but start talking to

anyone who would listen.

You people think that this

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

take these claims seriously

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

a group attains power,

they are very

reluctant to give it up.
