Tabernacle Off to the Side? Archbishop Sheen Would Have NONE of It
About this episode
The episode discusses Fulton Sheen's strong stance on maintaining the centrality of the tabernacle in churches and his opposition to modernist influences in the priesthood.
They called him the greatest communicator of the Gospel in American history. But Fulton Sheen was also a fierce enforcer of Catholic tradition, and the stories are only now coming out. He demanded the tabernacle remain central in every church. Not off to the side. Not in a chapel. Front and center. Because the Eucharist is not an ornament, it is the source and summit of the faith, and Sheen would not allow it to be hidden. He banned cassock-free priests from his diocese. No modernist dress. No blending in with the world. If you were a priest, you dressed like one, publicly, unashamedly, and with reverence for the office you held. And when seminarians began embracing the creeping liberalism of the 1960s and 70s, Sheen did not dialogue with them. He purged them. "No modernists allowed," was the unspoken rule, and he meant it.
