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 man!
On that web page is a poll asking whether the administration should compromise with Catholics. The question is (intentionally?) badly stated. If there is compromise, it will not be with "Catholics" who clearly cannot participate en masse in discussions. It is more likely that a compromise would be reached with the involvement of Catholic bishops. But even then, it is not the right issue.
This affects all Americans, not just Catholics, as the Bill of Rights was created to protect all Americans from the predatory nature of government and politicians.
As to the more general issue of compromise. I would vote no. In any compromise between good and evil, between right and wrong, it is inevitable that the good, the right, is diminished. Any such compromise is a victory for the evil ones.
Perhaps you can post the following link to get people to sign the national petition:
