Peter Mottola

Peter Bishop Mottola is a Catholic priest, whose well-meaning Protestant parents gave him his paternal grandmother’s surname as a middle name, to the later jocose confusion of many. He moonlighted as a graduate student during seminary and holds a Master of Arts in Medieval Studies from The Catholic University of America.
