[[Pope Pius VII]] made an honourable reference to Martin in his 1800 encyclical ''Diu satis'':
{{Blockquote|Indeed, the famous Martin who long ago won great praise for this See, commends faithfulness and fortitude to Us by his strengthening and defense of the truth and by the endurance of labors and pains. He was driven from his See and from the City, stripped of his rule, his rank, and his entire fortune. As soon as he arrived in any peaceful place, he was forced to move. Despite his advanced age and an illness which prevented his walking, he was banished to a remote land and repeatedly threatened with an even more painful exile. Without the assistance offered by the pious generosity of individuals, he would not have had food for himself and his few attendants. Although he was tempted daily in his weakened and lonely state, he never surrendered his integrity. No deceit could trick, no fear perturb, no promises conquer, no difficulties or dangers break him. His enemies could extract from him no sign which would not prove to all that Peter "until this time and forever lives in his successors and exercises judgment as is particularly clear in every age" as an excellent writer at the Council of Ephesus says.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.papalencyclicals.net/pius07/p7diusat.htm|author=Pius VII|title=Diu Satis|website=Papal Encyclicals Online|year=1800}}</ref>}}
The breviary of the Byzantine Churches states: "Glorious definer of the Orthodox Faith{{nbsp}}... sacred chief of divine dogmas, unstained by error{{nbsp}}... true reprover of heresy{{nbsp}}... foundation of bishops, pillar of the Orthodox faith, teacher of religion.{{nbsp}}... Thou didst adorn the divine see of Peter, and since from this divine Rock, thou didst immovably defend the Church, so now thou art glorified with him.”<ref name=Foley/>
