Intrepid reader G. points out that Tom Monaghan no longer owns Domino's. Monaghan, it turns out, sold the 93% of the company to Bain in several years ago.

Which certainly hasn't stopped Domino's from committing evil acts of a more banal kind.

In the meantime, more on Tom Monaghan:

Monaghan has supported various conservative Catholic causes during his lifetime including organizations opposed to abortion.and backing legislation to prevent legalized abortion. Monaghan says he will promote at the new University and his other religious schools “more vocations to the priesthood and nuns than any institution in the world.” Monaghan has reportedly employed Joseph Pearce, allegedly a former criminal nazi youth leader in London, and a well known author and academic on the religious far right, to the position of writer in residence at the sister Ave Maria College in Michigan.

Monaghan founded Legatus, an elite Catholic group of millionaires that reportedly backs a cult called The Word of God. Members of Legatus, among other qualifications, must be the head of a company doing $4 million in sales. Critics of The Word of God says the group is an authoritarian cult maintaining absolute control of its followers.

Monaghan reportedly set up the Siena Group, made up from wealthy and influential Catholics from the multi-thousand member Legatus. The Siena Group was reportedly instrumental in the formation of Human Life International. Critics say the group is militantly anti-abortion, anti-gay, and anti-women's rights. The Siena anti-abortion group was founded by Father Paul Marx who reportedly laid blame for "the abortion holocaust" on the "shoulders of the Jews."

For those of you who know Spanish, here is a must-read piece on Human Life International's appalling history by Mexican journalist Edgardo González Ruiz.
