It is a but surreal. 
I need to get some sleep too. I’ll check back tomorrow.
I keep seeing it reported the Sisters order bought the property in 1972. Yet the court ruled it belongs to the Archdiocese of Los Angeles.
This article says the church claims authority over the nuns order and they control the property? I’m astonished the Church’s authority over the nuns could negate a private purchase they made in 1972. I didn’t think property rights worked like that.
It’s too complicated for me to understand. But, the courts did rule for the church.
Yeah, it’s hardly what you think of as a “convent.”
I’ve actually been in there. (I was part of a committee on school accountability and one of the assistant superintendents of LA Unified apparently had once been a member of their order, so she managed get a room there for one of our meetings.)
In fact, it was essentially a resort for nuns. Take a look.
Some friends of mine live nearby, and they’d just soon the place not become a hotel/tourist attraction, because the traffic there already has gotten bad enough from people cutting through to get to Los Feliz Blvd.
Yeah. Also, R. Kelly peed on the girl as part of a movie the two are starring in. It’s eight minutes long and went straight to video. Well… streaming.
It sounds like the nuns didn’t purchase the property, the order did. And the order is owned by the church, not by the nuns.
Anybody who confuses Katy Perry with Miley Cyrus should look below their necks. That would quickly clear things up.
With capitals? That settles it, then.
You appear to have started from a conclusion, based on a preconception that nuns can do no wrong, and then attempted to shoehorn the story into your outraged narrative.
Is that a helicopter pad past the parking lot? The circle with the Maltese cross.
Hold on there, being confused with Zooey Deschanel is a bad thing?
You read guizot post. Traffic around the nun spa is already a nightmare, and nuns are notoriously hard workers. Even with a helicopter there’s barely time to schedule a bikini wax in between Stations of the Cross and Vespers.
Not at all (unless you’re using your similar resemblance for purposes of identity theft).
As I understand it, this is exactly what happened. Katy just happened to step in the middle of it. I fail to see how purchasing the property would cause her to lose fans…?!?
[sub] I don’t like her blonde makeover. The haircut alone makes her look matronly, but to each her own, I guess.[/sub]
I’ve had it up to here with nuns and their constant nunning.
Sure looks like one.
Note too that the swimming pool is in the shape of a fish…
“Get thee to a nunnery!”

That’s the spirit. Don’t think of yourself as a loser— just a catalyst for your competitors’ wins.
I’m not getting how Katy Perry is to blame in the least. The nuns thought they owned, and had the right to sell, their property. ****They sold it ****to a restauranteur. The Archdiocese thought THEY owned, and had the right to sell the property, and they sold it to Katy Perry.
Either way the nuns would have had to move.
One way the nuns got the money, the other way it went to the Archdiocese.
Katy Perry just wanted the real estate she had paid for. It was the Archdiocese that essentially stole what the nuns thought was their payday.
They have a lot in common; ex: They could both use a good long hot shower with scrubbing brushes and clarifying shampoo. It wouldn’t give them class, but it’s a good place to start.
It actually does matter.
I can’t be bothered to dig through who actually had legal rights to the property. But those rights are based on laws and financial transactions, not on who has the most sympathetic persona.
Just sticky this at the top of every outrage thread you start.
How many details does aceplace need for an outrage thread?
Nun.
It’s his habit.
