“Archbishop Fulton Sheen esteemed the enormous value of the laity’s voice: ‘Who is going to save our Church? Not our bishops, not our priests and religious. It is up to the people. You have the minds, the eyes, the ears to save the Church. Your mission is to see that your priests act like priests, your bishops act like bishops and your religious act like religious.'”
(quoting Archbishop Sheen in his address to the Supreme Convention of the Knights of Columbus in June 1972.)
