Why didn't they use the property as a retreat center? Why didn't these nuns just donate the property to a thriving Catholic order? And where is their Mother Superior? ( they wanted to sell the property to a restaurant owner)
For the diocese to go to court against the sisters to sell property to satanist is pure evil.
.
The sisters probably did not hold title to the real estate, because that's normally in the name of the local bishop.
Regardless what the nuns wanted to do with the property in the end it's the bishop's decision since he's the owner.
It might be evil for the bishop to sell property to satanists, but that doesn't make it illegal.
And in the eyes of the court,
legal trumps
moral every day of the week.
