Steven Klein, the director of Lady Gaga's Alejandro video, is setting the record straight after a lot of protests came from Catholics (it seems like it's 1987 all over again, when Madonna's Like A Prayer came out, you'd think, with all the priests raping little boys, the Catholics have more serious problems to focus on):
"The religious symbolism is not meant to denote anything negative, but represents the character's battle between the dark forces of this world and the spiritual salvation of the Soul. Thus at the end of the film, she chooses to be a nun, and the reason her mouth and eyes disappear is because she is withdrawing her senses from the world of evil and going inward towards prayer and contemplation."
And there you have it.

1987? LaP was released in 1989! ;-)
Don't care about the church. That institution is dead since the 70's. It's just a weird video.
