Brooklyn Priest Resigns Amid Financial Misconduct and Music Video Controversy
TL;DR Summary
A Brooklyn priest, Monsignor Jamie Gigantiello, was demoted after allowing Sabrina Carpenter to film a music video in his church, which led to an investigation uncovering his mishandling of nearly $2 million in parish funds.

Gigantiello has been stripped of his duties, and the church is cooperating with law enforcement.
