celeb news Priest demoted and stripped of administrative duties over Sabrina Carpenter's video

[Nefertiti0]

A Catholic priest has been stripped of his administrative duties after allowing a pop star to frolic around his church for Feather music video.

 

Monsignor Jamie Gigantiello, who was ordained in 1995, has been demoted after opening the doors of his New York church to be used as a set for a Sabrina Carpenter music video. The priest has since apologised in a post on the church’s Facebook page, calling the music video a “shameful representation”.

 

Monsignor Gigantiello explained he had been approached by a local film crew seeking somewhere to stage “a production featuring Sabrina Carpenter”.
 

After a search online to learn more about the singer “did not reveal anything questionable”, he gave the crew approval to use the church.

“In an effort to further strengthen the bonds between the young creative artists who make up a large part of this community and parish, I agreed to the filming after a general search of the artists involved did not reveal anything questionable,” Monsignor Gigantiello, who has been at the church for seven years, said. He was not present at the filming. The diocese noted that the church leaders were misled by the production company, saying they “failed to accurately represent the video content.”
 

Monsignor Gigantiello added that the $5,000 the church received from the production company would be donated to Bridge To Life Women’s Support Centre, a crisis pregnancy centre in New York. The group was selected, the priest said, “so that from this negative event can come the promotion of life.”

The same thing happened to the Spanish priest who allowed C. Tangana & Nathy Peluso to film their music video

Flopped

[Phaunzie]

Only the pop icon Sarah Brand has the ability to be controversial all the while maintained the divinity of the church, she frolicked in. No wonder, her actions never got people demoted. 

 

That poor priest

[Khal]

I mean this isn't in support of the Catholic church at all, but the part where they didn't even watch the final product before it was released is surprising. You'd think they'd at least want to see what they'd given permission to film

[wastedpotential]

I need this to become a much bigger story than it is so far because the people need to be exposed to the excellence of Feather and its video 

[alexrex]

You can tell worse things have happened in a church, yet this silly video stirs controversy. 

 

The Catholic church always being a hypocrite.

She didn't even do anything distasteful or inappropriate inside the church.

that would be an awful clause to have.

 

Imagine shooting $$$ music video and then not being able to release it because the priest said no.

I wonder if they even read the video treatment to begin with  

[NoOneDiesFromLove]

I wonder who got demoted for this masterpiece 

 

 

OT. They’re doing too much for a music video 

[LOTF]

Coming for Madonna's gig I see

[byzantium]

Now just imagine if the church cared as much about priest raping children as they do about female pop stars.  

[GentleEarthquake]

Catholics being hypocrites again?? I'm shocked. 

[Raphy23]

Isn’t there many vacant churches they could’ve used for the video?

[Just a Gay on ATRL]

One less priest in the world is a good thing, thank you for your service Sabrina Carpentress! But I gotta keep an eye out for Sabrenerrrr

[Desire]

Wait why did I think all the church drama was made by fans to get people to watch the video

 

The video isn't even that bad and I know that paycheck must have been nice 

[ReH2o]

[Sabrina Carpenter]
