The heavenly smell of a fresh cooked pizza has helped Thomas S Monaghan make a fortune, and perhaps with a little help from above.

After all he is the founder of Domino's Pizza as well as being a strict Catholic.

Now Monaghan wants to plow his fortune into real estate by building a new town governed by strict Roman Catholic principles, particularly when it comes to sex.

The pizza magnate, raised by nuns in orphanages, is bankrolling the town called Ave Maria in south-west Florida, with millions of dollars, calling its construction "God's will".

But living in Ave Maria will come with some strings attached.

If Monaghan has his way the town’s stores won’t be allowed to sell pornographic magazines, pharmacies won’t sell condoms or birth control pills, and there will be no X-rated channels on cable television.

Civil libertarians say the plan is unconstitutional and promise lawsuits.
