According to the Church, there is every possibility that both women returned to their nation and has some form of sexual encounter which resulted in the pregnancy.
A Catholic church source in Rome told The Sun:
“There is consternation at this news.
“It appears that both women were back in their home nations and obviously had some form of sexual encounter.
“An investigation has been launched; they both breached strict rules of chastity but the welfare of their children is uppermost.”
