Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Archbishop Jose Gomez, Katy Perry, and the owner of the Brite Spot are in disagreement over the sale of the Sisters' convent. The Medievalish former Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary convent is located in the hills of Los Feliz. The archdiocese emptied it out in 2011, against the will of the nuns. Now Los Angeles Archbishop Jose Gomez says he has the right to sell the place and he plans to sell it to pop star Katy Perry for about $14.5 million, reports the LA Times. Two of the last five living nuns say they have the right to sell the place and they've already sold it to local restaurateur/aspiring hotelier Dana Hollister for about $15.5 million.

Dana Hollister is legally in a purchase agreement with the nuns who own the property. The Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary broke off from the Catholic church in the 1960's. I know because they were the nuns at my catholic school. The Catholic church has always treated the nuns as second class religious citizens below the male Priests. Nuns are the teachers and nurses in the church. The church treats them like maids.

This group of nuns split from the church because they didn't like being treated like lower class and didn't want to take instruction from the church. When they broke off they bought their own property. There are quite a few convents which they own. The archbishop of LA Jose Gomez is trying to say the church owned the convent. They kicked the nuts out in 2011. I don't know how they managed that. I do know that the church has kicked a lot of the elderly nuns out. Nuns work for the church their entire lives in exchange for having a place to stay when they are old.

I hope Dana Hollister's lawyers make sure the deal goes through for the nuns. The church has kicked nuns out of other convents including Good Shepherd Catholic Church. They turned the convent into a visitor's center yet left the priests and monsignor's house intact. Go, Nuns!

Here is the basic title, deed, plat map of the place.
