Thomas “Tom” Brannigan

is a fifty-something Bostonian, solidly lower-middle class, erudite and a pretty right-wing Irish Catholic. He once went to Jesuit college and then wrote a master’s thesis on Charles Maurras at Yale Divinity. An admirer of Aquinas, C.K. Chesterton and Carl Schmitt. Reads Latin, French and Gaelic. Prone to drunken, red-faced rants against his “theological enemies,” the pinko-Masonic cabal that now runs the country. In his spare time, he enjoys trolling liberal bishops and tenured divinity profs online. Once an untenured, intermittent lecturer at Boston College, Thomas Luke Brannigan now lives on a pension with his mother and is an independent scholar, essayist and writer of detective fiction. His favorite Marxist: Lukács; his favorite liberal: Mark Twain.
