A Brooklyn priest has been stripped of his administrative duties for allowing pop star Sabrina Carpenter to film a music video inside his Catholic church. Msgr. Jamie Gigantiello has apologized and a bishop has performed a special rite since the former Disney actress pranced up to the coffin-lined altar of Our Lady of Mount Carmel-Annunciation Parish in a short black dress and veil. As the YouTube video was viewed millions of times, the diocese of Brooklyn issued a statement that said it was âappalled at what was filmed.â
