Readers React: Don’t expect these nuns to sell out in dispute involving Katy Perry

To the editor: So, the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary have taken the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles to court over the disputed sale of their property to singer Katy Perry. They’d originally agreed to sell it to someone else, but the archbishop said it wasn’t legal and decided to sell it to Perry. (“Judge asks nuns to work out dispute over sale of convent to singer Katy Perry,” July 20)

A note to Perry: I was taught by Sister Rita Callanan and Sister Jean-Marie Dunne (featured in Steve Lopez’s July 5 column), and although they are progressive nuns, they simply won’t budge on decency. In third grade I was sent to detention during summer school for baring my shoulders in a pink summer dress my father bought me for my birthday.

I love these nuns, who provided a great foundation for my education, and I’m glad that a few of them are sticking to their guns, so to speak.
