The diocese also \u2063claimed that the music video production company failed to\u2063 accurately represent the video&#8217;s content.<\/p>\n<p>In his letter, Gigantiello assured the parish \u2063that he\u200b had \u2062removed the \u200cblessed\u2063 sacrament from the church prior to the filming of the music video.
