Demolition Deferred for Church of St. Paul and Holy Rosary on 119th Street in East Harlem? Paywall HELP! Please.

According to a Crain's item dated January 15th, Fate of historic Harlem church slated for demolition now uncertain.  The subtitle is "a Harlem church may be having second thoughts about turning over its century old stone-walled building to a developer."  The tantalizing nugget that fades to nothing reads, "The Roman Catholic Church and Holy Rosary has backed out of an agreement to sell its longtime home at 442 and 444 E. 119th St to Queens-based Kahen Developement Group, according to a lawsuit filed Tuesday in Manhattan state Supreme Court..."

The last time this church/transaction warranted a news item was in August, 2024 when Gothamist disclosed the archdiocese's intention to sell:Archdiocese of NY plans to sell 124-year-old East Harlem church to property developer 

If any of my 10 readers can help me claw my way behind the paywall, I would be very grateful.  In the meanwhile I'll blow the dust of one of my decades-overdue books and throw myself on the mercy of the public library.
