Nuns are fighting Katy Perry over the sale of a convent

Instead, they reportedly favor the Hollister deal because it would keep the convent open to the public.

The five surviving Sisters of the Most Holy and Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary relocated to nearby retirement homes in 2011, leaving the convent, located on a hilltop property on an eight-acre estate, vacated.

As previously reported, Perry is in talks to purchase the property, agreeing to pay $14.5 million (£9.3m) for the property.

Katy Perry has recently went under fire from five retired Sisters of the Most Holy and Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary after stating her wish to buy their convent. The nuns justified that they prefer Hollister’s offer to Katy Perry‘s, but the Los Angeles archdiocese wanted to sell the convent, instead, to Perry.

A judge has asked a group of nuns to work out their differences with the Los Angeles Archdiocese over the proposed sale of their convent to pop star Katy Perry before seeking more drastic legal measures. The performer’s penchant for skimpy stage outfits did not sit well with the owners, “for what should be obvious reasons”, according to the court filings by Sister Catherine Rose and Sister Rita.

Archbishop Jose Gomez allegedly told the sisters to draft a proposal regarding their prospective sale to Hollister, which they claim they did; he then reportedly proceeded with the Perry deal in a manner the nuns claim was based on deceit.

But Archbishop Gomez stated that a sale to the restaurant owner was unauthorized.

Documents submitted by the nuns have revealed the full fallout with the archdiocese over the affair.

Katy Perry continues to be locked in a Los Angeles real estate battle…with a couple of nuns.

Sister Jean-Marie, they noted, expressed opposition to the sale both before and after signing her statement, and Sister Marie Christine, they said, was observed to be “woozy” and under the influence of morphine at about the time church officials asked her for a declaration of support. Sister Rita and Sister Catherine Rose say the archdiocese misappropriated a final bequest of $250,000 from Mr. Donohue, who died in 2014, and has failed in its obligation to maintain the existing retreat house.

“The Dana Hollister deal is frightful”, the archdiocese’s attorney J.

The nuns’ attorney said the archdiocese never sought to establish legal control over the order’s nonprofit institute until June.

Miss Perry is not involved in the legal case and has made no public comment. Dressed conservatively, she sang them the Christian hymn Oh Happy Day.

Should Perry get the property, which she’s had her eye on for two or three years, she would turn it into a sort of retreat for herself, her mother and her grandmother.
