Catholic News Agency portal (November 19, 2025) reports that “Bishop” Michael T. Martin of the Diocese of Charlotte granted a Mass dispensation to illegal aliens fearing deportation under increased immigration enforcement. The article details Martin’s declaration that fear of arrest excuses Sunday Mass attendance and his call for a November 21 day of prayer/fasting “in solidarity with migrants.” It notes his planned meeting with antipope Leo XIV and cites the USCCB’s recent condemnation of “indiscriminate mass deportation,” endorsed by the antipope. The piece frames immigration enforcement as inherently threatening to human dignity while downplaying DHS’ focus on arresting criminal aliens.
Naturalism Overriding Spiritual Priorities
The Charlotte “bishop” substitutes social activism for pastoral care by treating civil immigration laws as greater threats than mortal sin. His statement focuses entirely on temporal fears while ignoring migrants’ eternal welfare. Not once does he mention:
the necessity of sacramental confession for those in irregular unions, the sacrilege of receiving Holy Communion while obstinately violating immigration laws (cf. Catechism of Pope St. Pius X on sacrilegious Communions), or the duty to obey just civil laws (Romans 13:1-7).
This reflects the conciliar sect’s systematic inversion of Catholic priorities condemned by Pius XI in Quas Primas: “When once men recognize, both in private and in public life, that Christ is King, society will at last receive the great blessings of real liberty, well-ordered discipline, peace and harmony.” Martin’s social gospel reduces the Church to a NGO – precisely the “cult of man” denounced in Pius X’s Pascendi (#39).
Undermining the Sunday Obligation
Martin’s blanket dispensation violates Canon 1248 of the 1917 Code, which permits missing Mass only for “illness, necessity of caring for the sick, or other just cause preventing attendance without grave inconvenience.” Fear of lawful civil authority constitutes neither necessity nor just cause, as the Church historically upheld martyrdom rather than compromise with unjust persecutors. As the Council of Trent decreed:
“If anyone says that the Sunday precept is not of divine origin…or that Christians need not attend Mass: let him be anathema” (Session XXII, Canon 6).
This modernist “bishop” thus propagates heresy by equating deportation fears with moral impossibility. His rhetoric echoes the condemned proposition in Pius IX’s Syllabus of Errors (#15): “Every man is free to embrace and profess that religion which, guided by the light of reason, he shall consider true.” Reason here substitutes for divine law.
Complicity with Anti-Catholic Policies
The article reveals the conciliar sect’s coordination with anti-Christian globalism by noting:
“Pope Leo XIV on Nov. 18 urged Americans to listen to the message from the nation’s bishops…’I think that the bishops have been very clear in what they said.'”
Antipope Leo XIV’s endorsement of the USCCB resolution opposing deportations confirms the conciliar sect’s apostasy. As Pius XII warned in Ad Apostolorum Principis (1958): “They who enter the fold may not enter as wolves but as shepherds…” The USCCB’s “special message” constitutes open rebellion against Romans 13 and Catholic social teaching. Leo XIII’s Immortale Dei (#36) explicitly states: “Nor does the Church condemn those who, if it can be done without violation of justice, wish to make their country independent of any foreign power.”
Apostate Shepherds Betraying Flock
Martin’s directive for Catholics to “contact lawmakers in both parties to encourage them to pass immigration reform” while avoiding “vilify[ing] federal agents” reveals the conciliar sect’s diabolical neutrality. This false balance contradicts Catholic doctrine requiring uncompromising condemnation of evil. As St. Pius X declared in Notre Charge Apostolique:
“The true friends of the people are neither revolutionaries, nor innovators: they are traditionalists.”
The “bishop’s” focus on “public safety threats” rather than spiritual dangers exposes his naturalism. His silence on the 95%+ approval of the USCCB’s heretical stance by fellow “bishops” confirms the conciliar sect’s total apostasy – fulfilling Pius X’s warning in Pascendi (#3): “They impose themselves on the Church as religious guides.”
This scandal demands that faithful Catholics recognize these modernist officials as non-magisterium. As Paul IV’s Cum ex Apostolatus Officio decreed: “Any cleric who falls into heresy automatically forfeits all office and jurisdiction.” The true Church remains only with those preserving integral Catholic faith, not these hirelings who “come to kill and destroy” (John 10:10).
