(Can someone verify the date the cops went to arrest DrK & wife? Not 100% sure if it was April 1...

Yes, he said he thought that the friends they were calling to watch the kids might think it was an April Fool's Day joke.

Thanks for the comment...much appreciated.

In this 2-minute clip, Brendan "Boogie woogie piano man" Kavanaugh argues that Trad priests are not real "official" priests, and shouldn't be treated as such by the British police, because they don't have a celebret.

He argues that a Traditional priest claiming to be a priest is the SAME THING as Caitlyn Jenner or Rachel Levine claiming to be a woman. He actually goes there! He brings up the fact that in the modern world, you can "identify" as anything.

This man is clearly not Trad Catholic -- at all.

I appreciate that he may have been wronged by "Fr. Fake" Fr. Moran (his kids had to watch both parents get arrested) but that's no reason to turn on the Traditional Movement. His attachment to Tradition was obviously skin deep at best, and now he's sloughed it off like a snake shedding his skin.

The irony in all of this is the piano guy complaining of clerics who aren’t part of the “mainstream church”, all the while, he’s trying to operate a private chapel.  Why isn’t he attending church in his local diocese?  If his local diocese approved of his chapel, they would send him a priest. 

Typical indult mindset - I’m part of the mainstream church, except sometimes I’m not. 

That's what I was thinking. If he wanted his children to get "credit" for attending a Catholic Mass, he'd be singing a completely different tune.  Say, if the government offered tax credits for those attending regular church services (I know, not highly likely -- use your imagination) he'd be indignant that his priest(s) didn't qualify as Catholic priests. He'd be making many videos about it...

Has anyone wondered how Piano Man got so much money? Look at his property. Look at his chapel. This is England remember, not Kansas, Nebraska, or Texas! Land isn't *that* cheap in England.
I was told his property is probably worth $1-2 million. Now I understand that *sometimes* you buy a property for $150,000 and it balloons in value, and before long you're a paper millionaire. But is that happening in England? Is England printing money like America? Is everyone trying to move to England? Was acreage like Piano Man's cheap just 10 or 15 years ago?

And even if the land was cheap, a nice building never is. You have to pay for that one way or the other -- either part of the asking price, or you build it yourself which is very expensive.

My point: even if you get lucky and hold 10 acres that have skyrocketed in value, you can't walk your fields and pluck cash off the trees and bushes to build improvements on the land. You can go into DEBT, but who wants to do that? You still have to pay it back with cash. Unless you build a factory or business on your land that brings in an income stream, how do you pay back a loan, even a HELOC which uses the land as collateral? Again, unless you can somehow use that land to make money, it's just land. It could be worth millions on paper, but it gives you NOTHING to live off, let alone upgrade with buildings. That takes cash.

I doubt he's making that much off Youtube. Youtube simply isn't the cash cow, or the income stream, that it once was. The same for ANY online endeavor that relies on ad revenue. Ad revenue-based businesses have cratered in the past 15 years. I speak from experience on that. Most Youtubers have come to accept they can't live off their Youtube income (even if they did before!), and have pivoted to other income streams (Patreon, selling merchandise, other side hustles, etc.)

His chapel building (and contents) are very high end.
Does playing the piano pay that well?

My only point is: we don't know this guy, and he's not well established as a Traditional Catholic, supporting the Traditional Movement.

But suspicion of Piano Man does NOT equal defense of, or identity with, his "Fr. Fake".

I am not "with" Fr. Fake OR Piano Man. I'm on the side of the truth, wherever it happens to be. I don't have a dog in this fight.

I am making observations, pointing out facts, and observing truths wherever I see them -- whatever "side" it happens to bolster.

I don't see what that has to do with the fact that he got visited by the police for complaining about a rogue priest. If his money is ill-gotten, I'm sure the press would have a field day with him.

From his wikipedia page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brendan_Kavanagh 

This man is 0% Traditional. Does he have a home chapel? Sure. Does he like him some smells & bells? Perhaps.
Is he Traditional Catholic in any sense of the word? No.

Wouldn't many modern (conciliar) Catholics, and even protestants, have a problem with some of the photos/videos he has posted on his Youtube?
It's a question of morality and decency. The fact that the modern world has no problem with nudity is TOTALLY BESIDE THE POINT.
Catholic morality is completely against such immodesty and indecency. He mocks us for our Catholic morality.

The term "Traditional Catholic" has a certain objective definition, which this man does not merit.
Forget the "Trad" adjective -- what kind of "Catholic" is he?

That having been said, AT NO TIME DID I EVER SAY that everything he says is false. I never suggested such a conclusion, because that wouldn't be logical. You can be a non-Trad, or a sorry excuse for a Catholic, and still utter the truth about something.
We on CathInfo are after the TRUTH and the truth alone.
