Pizza billionaire and Michigan native Tom Monaghan, a conservative Catholic, is bankrolling the $200 million campus, along with a scholarship program for the children of Florida migrant laborers, and many regard the project as a potent symbol of Southern Catholicism's growing theological and political clout. All told, Catholics still make up only about 12% of the South's population, vs. 22% of the total U.S. population, according to the Glenmary Research Center in Nashville, Tenn.

"It's very simple, but it's a potent combination." Robert McDonald, a P&G senior executive, hinted to TIME at new products that could capitalize on each firm's strengths. "We have the best-selling male fragrance in Hugo Boss," he says. "How about a Hugo Boss designer razor?" Problem is, with P&G already so big, boasting more than $50 billion in sales, it needs the equivalent of a new megabrand like Tide...
