Absolutely Right
Kyle nails it once again.
You know, to their face: they can keep their goddamned nutbar ideas to themselves. I aint interested.
Seems to me that’s exactly what they’re doing, so good for them and anyone else who feels inclined to join them.

Dr John,
It's always tempting to want to live somewhere where everyone shares your values. And lately, it's even tempting to want to live among people who just share the idea that they have clear values and that they are important, whatever those values may be.
Catholics have one advantage: there's hundreds of millions of people in the world who share the same values, or at least claim to. But Monaghan will learn fairly quickly that even Catholic values are not uiversal among Catholics. He'll have some limited success at first, adide from the possible damage from lawsuits. But I think that as it grows, it will also deteriorate. His attempt to enforce adherence to values externally is a fallacy (even doing so through voluntary contract is still external enforcement). It won't hold.
Libertarians of all stripes, especially those of the LP and QandO stripes, should watch this carefully. It will be very educational, should they choose to learn from it.
I'm not even Catholic and its tempting.
Ah, I'll stay where I am and pull up the drawbridge.
