Will there be any elected officials?

I suppose it never occurred to the "civil rights activists" that they don't have to move to this place, nor does anyone who doesn't agree with the founders' principles. It's not as if they're buying a town that already has residents who would have to comply or leave.

Bummer about the Florida panther, though :-).

I wonder if I could build an Orthodox suburb nearby?

If you're a devout (vs. cultural) Catholic this would be a school worthy of your consideration.

I wonder if Dominos ever had a "Find the Pope in the Pizza" contest, like Father Guido Sarducci?

No offense meant, but you sound like the next Timothy Treadwell. [j/k]

Further into the article, is this quote:

Frances Kissling, president of a liberal Catholic group supporting women’s rights to contraception and abortion, said the idea of a Catholic town was “very disturbing”.

I find it hilarious that a supposedly catholic group is "DISTURBED" by this.

Great ideas, being a libertarian type, I am all for people forming local communities that reflect their values.

That said, there are some considerable legal problems with the pharmacy-not-allowed-to-sell condoms, etc. That has been litigated to death previously.

What you have to do is limit stores to very local stores and rely on voluntary compliance --- and boycott.

Given the tenor of the community, this would probably be economically effective.

The town will be centred around a 100ft tall oratory and the first Catholic university to be built in America for 40 years. The university’s president, Nicholas J Healy, has said future students should “help rebuild the city of God” in a country suffering from “catastrophic cultural collapse”.

Many of our "Catholic" universities were already destroyed by the liberal cancer.

Ave Maria University will be a lone voice in the sawgrass plain.

"Supposedly" being the operative word there.

If I knew who Timothy Treadwell was, I could decide whether to be offended or not. Since I don't, I'll pass on the opportunity :-).
