About the author

The Catholic Esquire is a traditional Catholic who attends the Traditional Latin Mass and holds a Juris Doctor degree, Bachelor of Arts in Economics and is a licensed attorney who has litigated cases for fifteen years. "Esquire" is still a term commonly used to refer to attorneys at law in the United States. It was originally a feudal rank in the Middle Ages just below a knight, which reminds modern Americans that our Western cultural heritage is rooted in a well-ordered society dating back centuries.
