Arrested YouTube pianist says police traumatised children
‘Dr K’ boogie-woogie musician accuses police of being ‘heavy-handed’
A YouTube pianist and his wife have accused police of being heavy-handed and traumatising their children when arresting the couple for making a child abuse allegation.
Six officers handcuffed Brendan and Lorainne Kavanagh and seized electronic equipment worth £12,000 after arriving in two marked police cars and a van at the family’s home.
Mr Kavanagh, who uses the name Dr K and broadcasts boogie-woogie performances and piano lessons online, said his three children, all aged under 14, were “terrified”.
The couple were arrested by Bedfordshire Police on suspicion of harassment on April 1. The arrest was captured on their security cameras.
The couple had shared concerns through email and WhatsApp messages with other parents in the Catholic community that someone ministering in the area was alleged to have had an inappropriate relationship while working as a priest abroad.
After waiting two months on bail, the Kavanaghs …More

Bp. Tissier de Mallerais is dying
Monseigneur Tissier de Mallerais is dying, announced yesterdayfrom the pulpit in Econe. The director of the seminary said he was expected to die within a few days.
A while back there were rumors that the Society was set to ordain new bishops under ecclesia supplet - emergency situation where a priest could be elevated to the episcopacy without papal mandate. The SSPX needs to go ahead and do so, and forget this business of 'respectful' dialogue with Francis' Rome.
Oh no!….. Don’t leave us, dear Bishop. Not yet. Stay with us just a little while longer. We need you in this time of great darkness. Now, more than ever before.

Cork TD ‘taken aback’ by priest's refusal to give communion at funeral
The priest told Mr Burke that he had refused to give him communion because of the TD's support for abortion during the repealing of the Eight Amendment
A Cork junior minister who was refused Holy Communion by a priest because he voted in favour of abortion is writing to the bishop of the diocese demanding ‘clarification’ as to his status on attending future church ceremonies.
Colm Burke, Minister for State at the Department of Health, said he was “taken aback” when he was refused communion by Fr Gabriel Burke who was officiating at the funeral of a long-time friend of Mr Burke last Friday.
The requiem mass was live streamed and shows Mr Burke queuing for communion.
As the Fine Gael TD reaches the priest the footage shows Fr Burke blessing him but keeping his hand over the chalice filled with the hosts.
Mr Burke then appears to remonstrate with the priest during an extended interaction while others wait behind to …More
The condemnation of abortion is an infallible doctrine of the Catholic Church equal in authority as the founding of the Catholic Church by Christ and all the Mariam dogmas. Any denial of this doctrine is heresy, and that person is automatically excommunicated.
Communicatio in sacris, the Duke of Norfolk & ChatGPT
Having just subscribed to the ChatGPT service, I thought I would choose something rather obscure to test it out and try to answer a question I’ve been pondering for a while: Is the Duke of Norfolk’s participation in the coronation of the British monarch Communicatio in sacris?
What I’ve found is that you have to start with simple questions that build upon each other for best results. Here’s what ChatGPT “thinks”:
Is the Duke of Norfolk a Catholic?
ChatGPT: Yes, the Duke of Norfolk is traditionally Catholic.
What is the Catholic teaching: Communicatio in sacris?
ChatGPT: "Communicatio in sacris" refers to participation in non-Catholic religious services or sacraments. Catholic teaching traditionally restricts such participation to avoid implying a unity of faith that does not exist. The Church allows limited participation under certain conditions, such as for grave reasons or promoting Christian unity, but generally, Catholics should avoid it to uphold the integrity of their faith. …More

Petition: Stop the ban on the Traditional Latin Mass
Petition unterschreiben
My name is Sir James MacMillan. I'm a Scottish composer who, along with many other people in the arts and public life, wrote to The Times on 3 July pleading with the Vatican to end its recent policy of banning the ancient Traditional Latin Mass from Catholic parishes around the world.
Signatories included the human rights campaigner Bianca Jagger, fellow musicians Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, Lord Lloyd-Webber and Sir András Schiff; historians Tom Holland and A.N. Wilson; Tristram Hunt, director of the Victoria and Albert Museum; Lord Stirrup, former Chief of the Defence Staff; and the fashion designer Sir Paul Smith.
Some of them are Catholics, but many are non-Catholics and they include non-believers. All of us recognise that, to quote the letter, the destruction of the Traditional Latin Mass would be 'an unnecessary and insensitive act in a world where history can all too easily slip away forgotten'.
There are …More
VRS why would you say that? In Panama, for example, there is a total ban on the Latin Mass. Only now, SSPX has been able to come in. Over and over again Pope Francis has made decisions to limit and eventually discontinue the use of the Traditional Latin Mass. Pope Francis again turns screws on use of traditional Latin MassMore
There is no ban on the Traditional Latin Mass. There are only faint-hearted priests afraid of saying it.
Viganò, Invoking Lefebvre, Faces the Vatican Summons
“It does not seem to me that Viganò is adhering to the Holy See in the way that Archbishop Lefebvre did his whole life – notwithstanding the latter’s criticisms and resistance.”
Viganò, Invoking Lefebvre, Faces the Vatican SummonsMore
Weird that 1P5 thinks Vigano attributes a position to Lefebvre that the latter did not hold, when Vigano invokes him as saying we cannot be in communion with this conciliar church. Not only did Lefebvre say exactly that in his book Spiritual Journey just a couple months before he died, but all the SSPX superiors declared it in their July 6, 1988 letter to Cardinal Gantin, when they stated:
“On the other hand, we have never wished to belong to this system which calls itself the Conciliar Church, and defines itself with the Novus Ordo Missæ, an ecumenism which leads to indifferentism and the laicization of all society. Yes, we have no part, nullam partem habemus,with the pantheon of the religions of Assisi; our own excommunication by a decree of Your Eminence or of another Roman Congregation would only be the irrefutable proof of this. We ask for nothing better than to be declared out of communion with this adulterous spirit which has been blowing in the Church for the last 25 years;…More
