No, but one does have to like the idea of the town center being a six-story Catholic Megachurch if they're going to invest in property there.
Is it just me, or does the Cathedral look like a mitre?
I noticed when ABC gave it coverage, they HAD to show some “person” from ACLU, sticking her face in the camera to make her petulance known to the nation. Who cares?
If Ave Maria is private land, ACLU can stand outside the gates and stick their tongues out all they want.
One doesn’t have to be Catholic to think Ava Maria is a great idea!

There was an Evangelical community in Chicago years ago composed of people who worked at the Cook County Hospital. I can’t remember its name, but I had some (Catholic) friends who bought a house there and were very happy. The biggest problem was that all decisions about the community had to be made by consensus, and it took forever to get everybody to agree. Also, their level of decision making was way too detailed: “Could the X family go on vacation,” for example.
This sounds more like a residential community that would have certain standards for its shops and surroundings, and would permit things like Nativity Scenes (gasp!), etc. I think any good Christian would be happy there.
