Pizza Tycoon Building a Strictly Catholic Town

NAPLES, Florida (AP) -- If Domino's Pizza founder Thomas S. Monaghan has his way, a new town being built in Florida will be governed according to strict Roman Catholic principles, with no place to get an abortion, pornography or birth control.

The pizza magnate is bankrolling the project with at least $250 million and calls it "God's will."

My inner Republican supports the right of municipalities to establish laws and systems of government consistent with the values and goals of their citizens. Of course, being an American, I would prefer that these policies be determined democratically instead of imposed by a very wealthy pizza entrepreneur.
