I hope it works now, but if not, one day it will.

I guess no New York Times writers will be retiring there.
But I'd like to check it out.

Tom Monaghan, the founder of the Domino's Pizza chain,I hope it works out for him. What a great way to avoid the Noid...

I wish this project luck, truly and earnestly.
I just hope that they avoid, like the plague, the trap of ever accepting federal money at any time for any reason!
Why do I fear that we ordinary Catholic mortals will never be able to afford living there?

If it were in Texas, I'd seriously consider moving there. Such a community would be a dream come true for us.

I knew about Ave Maria University, but I did not realize it was planning to build an entire town around it!

I'm not even Catholic but it sounds good to me. This Baptist gal thought the same thing. The values Monaghan strives to encourage in this mini Utopia far outweigh religious differences. Somehow I think Protestants would be most welcome (although Islamofascists, not so much).

I'm not sure how I feel about this. Jesus didn't call His diciples to retreat into seclusion. They had to go out into the world and make disciples of the pagans and the Jews. This sounds like a Catholic ghetto or isolated Amish-esque community.
I wish him luck, but I wouldn't live there.

Probably a great place to raise kids, but we are called to be a light to the world.
But at the same time a movement like this COULD be a light. A view of a way of life that is unlike what you can see in most US towns.

I hope it works now, but if not, one day it will. These "utopia" towns never work.
I suppose a "Catholic-only" town means only the early town magisterium is capable of handing down the rules and you don't question it. This as opposed to a "Protestant-only" town where someone makes the rules and everyone questions it. :O)
