I was sort of thrown by the bit about reading Mere Christianity in 1989--it suggests that that was the cause of his religious awakening, but the article goes on to note that he had been involved in conservative Catholic projects for years before that.

Seems like their ought to be some mention of his alleged support for the Contras--see the last external link. Nareek 06:20, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

Putting the following: " Monaghan is a conservative Republican Catholic with a particular interest in advocating for the right to life of the unborn and for the overturning of Roe v. Wade, which legalized abortion via privacy concerns." under "Philanthropy" is definitely a subjective and biased comment. I contest the neutrality and quality of this article

[edit] correction?

I don't know if this will be read by anyone that can correct but I clicked on the reference to the car in this article and it states Tom bought the car for 5.7 million pounds but sold it for $8 million. This article says he bought the car for $8 million.

fixed, based on published source that said he bought the car for 8.1 million, sold it for $8 million.Sfmammamia

could someone please clean up the biased wording? this article could stand to be rewritten; it sounds like it was written by a student in high school, and there is lots of repetition. it is hardly scholarly.

[edit] definitely need re-writing

Honest to god, it sounds like one of the Pioneers for Christ kids wrote it as an essay for a "Why Tom Monaghan is my hero" contest. I'm surprised more pissed off Ann Arborites haven't made it to this page.

[edit] vatican connection section now obsolete?

With Father Joseph Fessio out as provost of Ave Maria University, what's in this sectin no longer seems relevant to the subject, unless there's anything else to say about Monaghan's connection to the Vatican. Perhaps this whole section should be moved to a stub about Fessio instead? Sfmammamia 02:25, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
