Katy Perry must wait to buy a $15-million former convent from the Los Angeles archbishop as a judge refused -- for now -- to evict a local developer who bought it last month from disgruntled nuns.

At a sometimes boisterous court hearing Thursday, with the nuns and their supporters at times booing the archbishop’s lawyer, a judge said the sale of church property by the sisters was improper and invalid. The judge also said the archbishop can’t sell it to the pop diva while the lawsuit is unresolved.
