Small City With Extra Piety, Hold the Sin


Domino's pizza founder Tom Monaghan, who built a billion-dollar fortune off stoned college students, is now planning to build a small Catholic utopia in Florida:


Ave Maria won’t be just a university, he continues. It will also be a new town, built from scratch, in which the wickedness of the world will be kept at bay. "We’ve already had about 3500 people inquire on our Web site about buying a home there — you know, they’re all Catholic," Monaghan says excitedly. "We’re going to control all the commercial real estate, so there’s not going to be any pornography sold in this town. We’re controlling the cable system. The pharmacies are not going to be able to sell condoms or dispense contraceptives."


Oh, and the penalty for pizza delivery dudes who have sex with their customers? Death. — GREG BEATO

Welcome to Ave Marie

1. Ah, Catholic utopia!
And there will be regular searches of folks' homes to make sure they don't have any of those devil contraceptives, right?

Oops, suddenly they have zero applicants to live there.

2. I'm going to enjoy watching THAT city go under the water...
...Once the oceans rise enough to submerge Florida.

4. Cathars need not apply
Same goes for apostates, blasphemers and challengers of papal infallibility (talkin' to YOU, Hans Kung, uh-huh)

5. More power to them
I say they herd themselves into pre-Enlightenment-ruled municipalities and leave the rest of us the fuck alone.
