Ave Maria!

It's known for its theme parks but the new all-Catholic, "vice-free" town, Ave Maria in Florida is for real.
Opening today, the 5,000-acre site will comprise a university and eventually be home to 30,000 Catholics and the country's largest crucifix. Designed on Catholic principles shops in the town won't sell cigarettes, condoms or porn. As Jacqui Goddard in the Times points out, the biggest temptation will be the ice-cream parlour. But is this, as the University's president claims, "helping to build the kingdom of God" or glorifying the religious ghetto?
