About Me
- Fr. Allan J. McDonald
- I am the youngest son of a Canadian father and Italian mother. My father was from Judique, Cape Breton and my mother is from Livorno, Italy. After my father became a naturalized citizen of the USA he was drafted into the army and sent overseas for World War II. After the war, he married his war bride, Isolina Clara Sainati of Livorno, Italia on December 1, 1945. I was born in Napoli, Italia on December 21, 1953. We moved to Georgia when I was 3 years old. We lived in Atlanta from 1957 to 1960 and in Augusta. My mom is still in Augusta. I went to St. Mary Seminary in Baltimore. I was ordained a priest on June 7, 1980. I have served in St. Teresa Church, Albany (1980-85), Cathedral of St. John the Baptist in Savannah (1985-91). I was pastor of the Church of the Most Holy Trinity in Augusta from June of 1991 to July of 2004. I am currently pastor of St. Joseph Church, Macon since 2004. I was the vocation director for the diocese from 1986 to 1998 and Diocesan Master of Ceremonies and Director of Liturgy from 1985 through 1991. I was vicar forane of the Augusta deanery from 1991 to 2000.

Good, strong words, clearly and concisely written. Huzzah for Archbishop Dolan.
That's what I'm sayin'!
And we have heard strongly this week from 4-5 other outraged Bishops (thank God for them!); NOW where do the other +/- 450 active+retired Bishops stand? Come on guys, speak up...the world is watching you...
Reclaim the dignity and moral authority that has been eroded/lost PLEASE.
Would it be possible for our parish to send the Archbishop a thank-you letter? Maybe our Bishops would be more willing to go out on a limb if they knew we were there supporting them.
Re Jenny's comment: According to this link

400 Catholic leaders have signed a USCCB petition. Darned few of them, as of the time I'm posting this, are bishops.
It's also worth noting that Fr. John Jenkins has signed it. I find his name on the list a bitter sight. He's the president of Notre Dame, who so militantly insisted--in the face of massive criticism--that giving Obama an honorary degree in the spring of 2009 would further the Catholic "dialogue" with pro-abortion politicians. Many of us asked at the time "What dialogue?" Well, now that it's far too late, at least Fr. Jenkins finally gets it. Would that he--and the country's bishops--had spoken up earlier.
