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
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?
