Reports claimed that the Christian Hollywood pop singer is close to buy a Los Angeles convent.

The Superior Court of Los Angeles has sided with Perry in her bid to buy the covenant after two years of fighting for it. To recall, the nuns have tried to block the archdiocese from selling their convent and they favored the real estate developer.

"The court finds that the sisters did not have authority to sell the property to [Ms.] Hollister," said Judge Stephanie Bowick in a summary judgment.

"The main concern of the Archdiocese is and has always been the care and well-being of all the IHM Sisters," the archdiocese said in a statement this week. The developer paid the sisters $44,000 and signed a contingent promissory note for the rest "without any guarantee that the Sisters would ever receive any additional payment," the archdiocese said. The promissory note amounted to more than $9 million, according to property records.

Meanwhile, Katy Perry and the involved parties have yet to comment about this legal issue.
