Security officials in Kyrgyzstan have fined two Slovakian nuns for violating the country’s laws after they read from Bible during a Sunday Mass.
The officials visited St. Nicholas Church in north-western Talas town on March 26 and imposed a fine of US$90 each on Sisters Daniela Činčilova and Eva Eliašová of the School Sisters of St. Francis Congregation, Fides news agency reported.
Officials accused the nuns of illegally preaching Catholicism in Talas without authorization from the State Commission for Religious Affairs.
