Brennan’s “appalled” attitude to the footage quickly sparked controversy. According to a statement from the Diocese of Brooklyn.
“The parish did not follow diocesan policy regarding the filming on Church property, which includes a review of the scenes and script.”
He also stated that he “is taking this matter seriously and will be looking into it further.”
Later, Carpenter responded to the controversy by claiming that she had prior consent and joking that “Jesus was a carpenter.”
When she performed at Coachella in 2024, she even donned an enormous t-shirt with the same message.
