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.

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.
