"His ilk" includes the so-called "Catholic leadership" in this country that has capitulated to a radically secular government whose agenda for this country is an utter abomination by any objective measure.
Ann Barnhart is right. The shepherds have ingratiated themselves with the wolves and invited them into the pasture, while the flock is left to fend for themselves.
"By their fruits you shall know them." -- Matthew 7:16
Last I checked the Bishops led by Dolan are fighting the HHS mandate, abortion and same sex marriage. In what area have they capitulated?

Ann needs to get over herself. Earlier this year she had a post on her blog that stated she expected Cardinal Dolan to cave quickly on the HHS mandate and prayed she would be wrong. I sent her an e-mail and said not to worry, her prayers would be answered and Cardinal Dolan won’t cave. Now she predicts
“ Dolan will eventually tell Catholics that they should "comply under duress" with the HHS mandate, and that it will be "morally acceptable" to pay for abortion, contraception and sterilization, so long as the Catholic "doesn't like it" and does it only "under protest".
She’s a fool and this prediction will also not come to pass. I would suggest all the Dolan bashers take of their secular hats and replace with their spiritual one. The truth of the matter is nothing will happen to the Church unless God permits it. He’s in charge not us. There’s a reason Cardinal Dolan is leading the effort and not Ann Barnhardt.
