Court rejects challenge by donors and diocese to plans for sale of Catholic high school

    California Catholic Daily: “Attorneys for the Diocese of Sacramento and seven donors to the now defunct Loretto High School are mulling whether to appeal an unfavorable ruling in a dispute over $7.75 million the sisters of the Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary received when they sold the campus last year . . . In May 2009, the sisters of the Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary sold the 9-acre Loretto campus to Aspire Public Schools, a non-profit firm that operates 21 charter schools across California, for $7.75 million — $5.75 million up front, with the remaining $2 million due in 2012 . . . In essence the appellate court said the nuns had, in fact, used the money contributed to Loretto for the purposes for which it was donated, and that the plaintiffs are unlikely to prevail at trial.” | For more information see Religion Clause.
