Let's see how the Ave Maria board reacts to any outcry. If they still try to jam this monstrosity down our throat, we'll know where they really stand.

Who's "we"? As I recall, this university is being built with Tom Monaghan's money, so it likely reflects his arrogance.

This is the same man that erected a massive cross in the countryside of Michigan, I believe.

This church is an "in your face", no matter how non-functional it might be.

Many of us have fundraising letters from Ave Maria sitting here and there in our house. Monaghan provided most of the seed money, but of course seed money is just the beginning of what they need. This university is supposedly a conservative orthodox university. It will flop if they chose to ignore the smaller donors, most of whom will be repulsed by taking all their money and building a greenhouse. Donations will dry up, some people will lose interest in the new university, etc.

Pot, kettle, black. You don't know much about a man who has risen from such humble beginnings and whose faith is much stronger than yours will ever be. Once again, deacon, you've confirmed to us that you're a fool.
