The acquisition of Katy Perry Monastery in Los Angeles turned into a real tragedy

The heart of 89-year-old nun Catherine Rose Holtzman, who had been suing Katy Perry for several years, stopped right at the time of the hearing.

Litigation with nuns

In 2014, Katy Perry agreed with the Los Angeles Archdiocese to purchase an ancient building in the Los Feliz district, where the Roman Catholic monastery used to be. For the area of ​​32 thousand square meters with a house, garden and fountain, the singer was ready to invest 15 million dollars, intending to live here.

Two nuns, who lived in the monastery since 1978, intervened. They felt that the candidacy of Perry, who attended the Salem Witch Walk Sabbath in Salem, performing "sinful" songs, is not suitable for the hostess of the house. To prevent the deal, Catherine Rose Holtzman and Rita Callanan decided to conclude another, without the approval of the diocese, to sell land and buildings to entrepreneur Dane Hollister for the construction of the hotel.

Cathy decided to fight for the right of possession and the sisters of Christ were also not going to surrender ...

Dramatic Final

On Friday, a regular court session on an endless litigation took place. During the hearing, Catherine Rose Holtzman became ill, she suddenly collapsed to the floor and died without regaining consciousness.

A few hours before her death, the elderly nun, continuing to defend her point of view, turned to the pop star in an interview with Fox 11, stating:

"Katy Perry, please stop. It will not lead to anything good, it will only hurt many people. "
