The Tabneracle should NEVER have been moved! It IS His house, after all! Why priests have moved the Tabernacle in the 1st place and now have to be “encouraged” to put it back to the center of the altar is an outrage.

The last Parish we went to had it way in the back.

This came from dumb misreading of Vatican II. What they were trying to say was that a separate chapel should be provided for the reserved Eucharist in large cathedrals that got a lot of tourist traffic. Somehow this got mutated into "every parish needs to move Jesus into a broom closet". That wasn't the intent at all.

When my parish built a church back in 97-99 the pressure was still on to hide the tabernacle off to the side or in the sacristy even, we built it into the wall behind the altar where it is plainly visible. At St. Johns across town they had a traditional tabernacle that was movable and with the changing directives from the diocese it got moved around several times. When they built their own new church they liked the idea of putting it in the wall. Now it, too, is secure from the whims of fashion.
