Katy Perry grew up the daughter of Protestant Christian pastors and shot to fame with the song “I Kissed a Girl.” Now, she may get her chance to live in a former convent in Los Angeles. Perry has sought to buy the property from the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, but nuns who once lived there objected and tried through their institute, Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, to sell it to a restaurateur. In a lawsuit filed in June, the archdiocese acknowledged the nuns’ institute holds the title to the majestic 8-acre property, which is built like a Roman villa. However, it also said the archdiocese has power over the ex-convent’s sale.
