Before you step too far into this... realize that there are good
christian fundamentalists that are ready to take over the state of SC
and secede from the USA to force their will on all of the citizens of
SC.... see: http://christianexodus.org

I don't see that these catholic zealots in FL are any different.


I do. The group you talk about is trying to assimilate a bunch of people
who are already living there. Ave Maria is yet to be built. Anybody who
lives there or works there knows the rules going in.


That is a terribly weak and specious argument.

This is merely an effort by well heeled religious zealots to try to
restrict the constitutional rights of the citizens of Naples and
Collier County. Those citizens, already property owners, do NOT as you
assert ".....know the rules going in." They will likely pay a large
price, in terms of taxation, to defend themselves against these
newcomers in order to protect their constitutional rights.

After having breakfast with some Catholic friends, to my surprise, I
find that there are a LOT of Catholics that don't see it your way.


I ate diner with some Catholics last night, slept with one of them, my wife,
and had breakfast with some Catholics this morning. They disagree with your
view of this issue.

Gene, please tell us what is really bothering you about Ave Maria and other
similar communities?

Caveat emptor.
