The nuns in the Congo story was a total fabrication that first appeared in a Jesuit magazine in the late 70s. This, in turn , was based on a discussion of hypotheticals that a moral theologian had presented (but certainly not supporting doing such a thing) in the early 70s.

The Congo war in which this supposed papal permission took place, moreover, was two years before Pope Paul VI was even elected pope.
