New Catholic town may keep birth control out
February 28, 2006
The founder of Domino's Pizza is starting a Florida town where he will build a Catholic university -- and possibly keep out contraception.
Tom Monaghan, who sold Domino's years ago, is using his fortune to help construct Ave Maria, a town and school near Naples, Fla.
"I believe all of history is just one big battle between good and evil," he was quoted as saying this week by Newsweek. "I don't want to be on the sidelines."
Monaghan, a conservative Catholic, controls the commercial real estate in Ave Maria along with a developer, the magazine said.
He wants drugstores to keep birth control off their shelves, and the developer said it would favor pharmacies with such a policy, according to Newsweek. A clinic opening already has said it would refuse contraception to students.
Notice he never says that he's actually on the side of good in the "battle of all of history." Just that he "doesn't want to be on the sidelines" Call him what you may, just don't say he's a liar.
