What do you think is behind the “fashionable” movement to hide all the tabernacles?

A desire to break the ignorant masses of their belief in the Real Presence. They couch it up as not wanting the poor simpletons to be fooled by the “distraction” of the tabernacle behind the altar when the Mass is taking place and the Presence is being made Present on the altar.

But the point is to obviate the need to genuflect upon entering Church and to relegate the Real Presence to a far off closet somewhere.

ours is in a walk-through closet in the farthest corner of the church.
