Bishop Martin’s Mass Dispensation Betrays Catholic Doctrine for Modernist Agendas
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.
