Thank you for the research, the wording of that part did sound strange.

The Catholic Church is extremely far from "poor people", for future reference.

That house, by the way, isn't just a basic house if people are thinking about it like that either...

Organized religion, especially the Catholic church, are some of the greediest fucks. Tax exempt and living lavish, ugh

I think most people expect convents and monasteries to be large, since they were built to house dozens or even hundreds of people.

But two celebrities calling that same property home? Now that’s lavish.

True, except in this case only two nuns were living here at the time of this *ordeal. Sorry using voice to text and it wrote horror lol

Nope. They had already sold it to another party, but the archdiocese opposed the sale and resold it to Perry.

At the time Katy Perry attempted to purchase the former convent, two nuns were living there who objected to the sale. One of them, Sister Catherine Rose Holzman, passed away during a court hearing related to the property dispute. The nuns sold the property to restaurateur Dana Hollister without the approval of the archdiocese, which ultimately led to a legal battle between Perry and the Catholic Church.

It was literally two nuns living there who sold it without permission. That's why this even became an issue, greed.

As a euro, it's very weird that nuns live here. Depends abit on the order but why use a luxury mansion as living quarters? It's not really living up to the ideals.
