According to Rolling Stones, Monsignor Jamie Gigantiello, a priest at Blessed Virgin Mary Catholic Church in Brooklyn, was removed from his duties after an investigation revealed violations of diocesan policies, financial mismanagement, and unauthorized financial transfers. His demotion follows controversy over his approval of Sabrina Carpenter’s music video, “Feather,” filmed at the church without proper diocesan review. Bishop Robert Brennan appointed Bishop Witold Mroziewski to oversee the parish, emphasizing the need to safeguard public trust and church funds. The investigation also linked Gigantiello to unauthorized transactions involving Frank Carone, a former aide to NYC Mayor Eric Adams, currently under federal corruption investigation. If you forgot what the video in question was, here ya go!
