All power to the man. There are too many people wanting to do immoral and harmful things to society in the name of freedom. So this man wants to cut that out. I would support him fully. After all what is wrong with a place which says pornography is banned? I think our minds are the ones that need cleaning. If Monaghan invited me, I'd love to go live in Ave Maria though I am a Muslim. We seem to share a lot of values. Good is good in any religion and so is clean, pure, kind, noble and character.

Christian faith is immoral and the Catholic faith is about the worst brand of Christian - so this is a win for the devil.

@lunaix please stop name calling. I can't stop you but I ask you

[laffiteaumusic]

@TheHighPixies He is obviously using the word jew as a negative word kinda like calling someone gay that is not gay but the person doesn't like. this is something wrong that shouldn't be done but you guessing all catholics do that is offensive do. please be kind. the current amount of catholic priest that raped kids out of all priest is similar to all other religions at <.05%at the2000 so please don't call all catholics that. it would be like me calling a random person racist. Peace be with you

@samina080360 I love you (in a brotherly way) I just had to say it. I am catholic and I think I will move out there to help me get away some day too. Then again I will be a nuclear engineer so maybe I can set up a town. You might have the choice between Texas and Florida

Great......this is a wonderful initiative. And it could be easily adopted elsewhere by Catholics buying and renting within close proximity to each other. After all this is what Muslims are doing throughout the Western world. See their Muslim town, Islamberg in New York State. CATHOLIC STATE .....for the future please!
