That headline is not a lie.

As time goes by, more and more people are becoming aware of the ongoing legal battle between pop singer Katy Perry, the LA archdiocese, and two nuns who are trying to stand up for their convent. Recently this affair has been thrust into the spotlight when in a hearing for the case one of the defendants, Sister Catherine Rose Holtzman, collapsed in the courtroom and died March 10, 2018.

Here is everything you need to know about the case.

1. The case has named two sisters of IHM in Los Angles

Short for Immaculate Heart of Mary's Convent, the IHM is a roman style villa that is perched in the Los Feliz area of Los Angles. There are only a handful of nuns still alive from when the convent first was owned by the sisters over 40 years ago, making Sister Holtzman and Sister Rita Callahan the main defendants of the lawsuit despite not even living on the grounds for several years.

2. The convent's original name is Villa San Giuseppe

It was originally built for Earl Anthony, an automobile mogul, in 1928 with a final cost of $500,000. In 1972, the sisters pulled all their money together to buy the estate to use as a Roman Catholic convent for $600,000. It is known for it's upscale and unique blend of Italian, French, and Spanish inspired architecture. It includes 30,000 square feet of living space, a pool, a tower and an adjoining prayer house

3. Katy wants to use the convent to 'find herself'.

Katy has stated she wants to move into the convent for her own private dwelling for personal reflection along with her grandmother. She has also said the prayer house adjacent to the main building will need to be relocated.

4. This stretches all the way back to 2015

, they argued despite the nuns owning the property themselves, they had no right to sell 'church property'. And instead sold the estate to Perry for $14.5 million.

5. The nuns did have a biased opinion on the sale to Perry

While they had a number of valid reasons to oppose the sell of their convent, the sisters did go record to say they opposed the sale to the singer because the genre of music and lyrics "violated our canonical vows to the Catholic Church.”.

6. Perry's direct involvement with the nuns is actually resolved.

in 2016, saying the nuns were not fit to sell the land and ruled the sell to Dana Hollister void despite the fact she was already living on the site.

This past court hearing was Hollister's, the sisters were there on site to speak to the media and show support of Hollister during her legal battle. Since the selling to Hollister was made void, the archdiocese and Perry than slapped her with a lawsuit claiming she interfered with the transaction with Perry, manipulated the sisters into selling her the estate, and a few other fraud related charges.

7. But yes, a nun did die in court

It's actually a women's rights issue. She may not have realized it at the time, but initially siding and continuing to do so with the archdiocese means siding with the oppressor of a huge debate between gender inequality in Roman Catholicism. The archdiocese were the ones who made the sisters relocate from the estate in 2011 and then when the sisters tried to make profit off their own hard earned property, the archdiocese interfered anyway.

As the documentary below goes into, this is just another case of women suffering under the patriarchy of the Catholic church. This instance is just one of the first times women are actually taking a stance against it, their biggest grievance being that since the archdiocese took control, the sisters will see no penny from the sale of their own property. All of it will go to the archdiocese.

A documentary posted on YouTube a few days ago goes into extended detail about how the sisters have been manipulated for years and abused by legal loopholes by the archdiocese, Katy Perry just happens to come into towards the end of the ordeal.

Despite the tragic circumstances, this case does bring light to the imperfections of the Catholic church and how women still have to fight for equality in the 21st century. Hopefully all will be resolved and justice will be served to those who deserve it.
