Was he a modernist “what we want is a unity of religious people not a unity of religion” - Archbishop Fulton Sheen.
To place this quote back into its rightful context, will reveal that the dynamics of religious freedom in our day, especially here in the US must be why this good Bishop and Servant of God held such stance.
When a civilization has to fight against forces attacking the natural law, all of nature's rational participants can come on board.

To place this quote back into its rightful context, will reveal that the dynamics of religious freedom in our day, especially here in the US must be why this good Bishop and Servant of God held such stance.
When a civilization has to fight against forces attacking the natural law, all of nature's rational participants can come on board.
Man is wired to know by his very nature and from creation around him that God exist [-ie, there is Someone in charge of this world], even without the supernatural light of Faith to know Who It Is (the Trinity) and where to find Him (in the Church).
So when modernism breads atheism in a society like ours, every organized religion can have a say on that subject and that subject alone; that there is an almighty God who has a right to be worship by all.
Who He is, how he wishes to be worshipped and the way of life He expects of His creatures are the exclusive rights of His Church to tell us.
'...upon this rock I will build my church,.....' says our Lord in Holy Scripture, to imply His knowledge of other religious sects He permits to exist, while wanting all men to eventually convert to the one true Faith.
The fight against abortion is another example where non-Catholics have over the years participated in sounding the truth of the natural right of a woman to have children, and the right of the child to live; because for any corrupt state and government and the forces that work through them, the ultimate goal is to destroy the supernatural by eliminating the natural.
If Archbishop Fulton Sheen was ever wrong on some things, he was so right on many, and this can be said of almost all faithful prelates including our first bishop of Rome.
Even so, religious freedom is a moral and social issue, giving that it bothers first on the natural law.
It is said St Thomas Aquinas didn't believe in the Immaculate Conception- a whole dogma as we know it now!
Fortunately for him, it wasn't defined in his time, and so he couldn't be held culpable of heresy although he erred in his theological judgment of the matter.
May God help us who still have to live and work out our salvation in fear and trembling during these times.
