A <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/priest-relieved-of-admin-duties-after-allowing-sabrina-carpenter-to-film-provocative-music-video-in-church">New York priest</a> who was disciplined after allowing <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/disney-star-sabrina-carpenter-cancels-concert-due-to-credible-security-threat">Sabrina Carpenter</a> to film a provocative music video in his church has been relieved of his &#8220;pastoral oversight&#8221; after an investigation revealed other instances of “administrative impropriety.&#8221;
The Associated Press reported this week that Bishop Robert Brennan had relieved Monsignor Jamie Gigantiello of “any pastoral oversight or governance role” at Our Lady of Mount Carmel – Annunciation Parish in Brooklyn, the <a href="https://apnews.com/article/sabrina-carpenter-music-video-church-controversy-52bcc40c18a934aa518be720b9c531dc">Associated Press</a> reported.
“I am saddened to share that investigations conducted by Alvarez &amp; Marsal and Sullivan &amp; Cromwell LLP have uncovered evidence of serious violations of Diocesan policies and protocols at Our Lady of Mount Carmel – Annunciation Parish,” Bishop Robert Brennan said in a statement. “In order to safeguard the public trust, and to protect church funds, I have appointed Bishop Witold Mroziewski as administrator of the Parish.”
Brennan also revealed that the investigation uncovered other instances of “administrative impropriety,” the AP noted. Though the report does not delve into specifics, it seems that Gigantiello&#8217;s punishment stems from more than the Carpenter video. The priest was first <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/priest-relieved-of-admin-duties-after-allowing-sabrina-carpenter-to-film-provocative-music-video-in-church">relieved</a> of his administrative duties at the church last year after he allowed Carpenter to film the music video for her song &#8220;Feather&#8221; in the church.
In a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=743576697797239&amp;set=pb.100064347473050.-2207520000">letter</a> to shared on Facebook, Gigantiello apologized to the Bishop, the Diocese of Brooklyn, and parishioners for the “shameful representation” in the video which he said he “whole-heartedly” renounced.

Gigantiello told the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/25/nyregion/sabrina-carpenter-brooklyn-church-video.html">New York Times</a> that the video was “not what was initially presented” to him when he approved the filming in what he said was an “effort to further strengthen the bonds between the young creative artists who make up a large part of this community.”
In the video, Carpener, a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/singer-who-filmed-provocative-music-video-in-catholic-church-issues-flippant-response-to-controversy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">former Disney star</a>, sings about ex-lovers while dancing provocatively on the altar of the 160-year-old church, which was adorned with neon crosses and suggestive signage. Carpenter parades down the aisle in a short black dress and black veil, at one point killing a man who took a picture up her skirt.
The Diocese of Brooklyn condemned the video upon its release, with Bishop Brennan saying he was “appalled at what was filmed at Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary Church in Brooklyn,” <a href="https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/255900/brooklyn-bishop-appalled-over-music-video-shot-in-catholic-church-will-investigate">Catholic News Agency</a> reported.
