The political scientist Francis Canavan died on Thursday, February 26, at the age of ninety-one—yet another of the great good ones lost to us in recent months.
Among his works for First Things were: “The Popes and the Economy” in 1991, “Letting Go How We Die” in 1994, and “The Eminent Tribunal” in 1998.
His books still in print include:
A Moral Enterprise: Essays in Honor of Francis Canavan
The Political Economy of Edmund Burke: The Role of Property in His Thought
Dawn Eden at the Dawn Patrol has lengthy piece on Fr. Canavan (here)
Kenneth L. Grasso , at First Principles has another great piece (here)From the Fordham University website
Fr. Canavan was a gentle man, a deep thinker, and a force for life. We still need people with all those attributes in our lives, and where we will find his like?

Francis P. Canavan, S.J., professor emeritus of political science, died on Thursday, Feb. 26 at Montefiore-North Hospital in the Bronx.An author of more than 10 books and a political philosopher who inspired and encouraged many students at Fordham, Father Canavan taught for 22 years in the Department of Political Science. He wrote prolifically about liberalism and Catholic social teaching, and, during the 1960s, served as associate editor of America magazine. He was also a member of the advisory board of the Society of Catholic Social Scientists.
"Father Frank Canavan, who has just died at the age of 91 after nearly seventy years as a Jesuit, was a superlative teacher and scholar in the area of political philosophy," said Patrick Ryan, S.J., vice president for University Mission and Ministry. "A graduate of Fordham College at Rose Hill in the Class of 1939, he introduced several generations of students to the thought of Edmund Burke and other luminaries of the intellectual tradition in politics. His kindness--nicely complemented by sardonic wit--will be sorely missed. May he rest in peace."
Father Canavan retired from teaching in 1988. He served as executive member and vice president of the Faculty Senate for many years.

Rest in peace our dear cousin Father Francis. It seems no time since you blessed our new home in Toomebridge in Co-Antrim,when you made your last visit to your beloved Ireland in 2003. We will always have fond memories of you here and there in New York when we came to visit you in 2004. My parents (Patrick & Ann McGorrey and extended family) as well as myself Bernadette Devlin, my husband John and son Shea Padraig wish to convey our deepest sympathies at this sad time. You will always be with us in Spirit and remembered in our Prayers Cousin Francis. Mary Queen of the Gael pray for you.

To my dear cousin may you rest in peace until we meet again. It is like yesterday when we came to visit you in New York where we will never forget your laughter and kindness. As we all know, that our dear cousin loved to read so I write this poem for you. May all the saints and angels be watching over you.
'A bouquet of beautiful memories spread will a million tears, wishing God could have spared you if only for a few more years.
We cannot bring the old days back when we were all together, the family circle is broken now but memories live forever.
Along the road to yesterday that leads me straight to you. Each mass I hear, each prayer I say is offered up to you. (Teresa & Francisco Martin)

Как говорилось на Seexi.net У 3-летнего ребенка не очень большая киста на шее. Заметил врач в обычной районной поликлинике, сказал вырезать. В интернете прочитала, что и лазером лечат, и отсасывают через не очень большой прокол. Кто-нибудь с этим сталкивался? Посоветуйте , пожалуйста, специализированную клинику.
