Bishop’s Dispensation from Mass Reveals Conciliar Sect’s Capitulation to Naturalism
Vatican News portal (December 28, 2025) reports that “Bishop” Earl Fernandes of Columbus, Ohio, issued a decree dispensing immigrants fearing immigration detention from Sunday Mass obligations until January 11, 2026. The decree cites increased immigration enforcement causing “fear and anxiety,” with Fernandes acknowledging he “didn’t really want to do this” but felt compelled due to parishioners’ distress. He encourages live-streamed Masses and “spiritual practices” while paradoxically noting many still attended Christmas services. Fernandes claims neutrality on border policies but frames churches as “safe spaces” from law enforcement, stating: “I recognize that countries have a right to security and to control their borders; nevertheless, I made an appeal to conscience… to allow families to share the peace of Christmas together.”
