Tomorrow night I’m guesting on NBC’s Grimm (9/8c)…as a minister, of all things.Grimm - I'm all tied up at the moment

A Young and Strapping Priest

Posted on: March 7th, 2016 by wmapother No Comments

Palladino started as a monk, became a priest, left to get married, and returned to priesthood after his wife died.

On Monday, 10am PST / 1pm EST, I’ll answer all your questions online during a Reddit AMA (Ask Me Anything).  It’s arranged for the release of Atticus Institute on Jan 20 on DVD and OnDemand, but I’ll answer questions about anything.  Well, almost anything.

The home page for AMA’s is here, but I’ll post the exact link via Twitter (@WilliamMapother) as soon as I have it.
