He didn’t have to convert. He was a baptized Catholic. He only needed to go to confession. I spoke with the Austrian economist who was a care giver in his final years. He asked to see a priest, Fr. Josef Schassing, SJ. I spoke with Fr. Scasshing Who confirmed that he was called to see Hayek and presided at his funeral Mass and received a Catholic burial.
As a note to readers upon seeing the Pic of FAH and JP-II, both of these authors can be VERY 📚✍🏼 challenging to comprehend in their writings. I personally find both von Misses and the good bavarian professor Joseph Ratzinger (Benedict XVI) to be more accessible. 🇦🇹🇩🇪🇵🇱
I think it's from the "Road to Serfdom", planning for competition rather than planning for outcomes. Applying the rules [laws] equally for all parties and not making frequent capricious tweeks. Perhaps 'we' could all use some Hayek (and a side of von Misses). 🇦🇹✍🏼⚖️📜 Socialism is a clear and present danger to the Republic.
Brad, have you got a source for Hayek having a confession and Catholic funeral? If not, I'll believe you but might not repeat it to others.
Understood, Marcus. It comes from Father Sirico.

Oh fantastic. Thanks! (Incidentally, you may be interested in this interview I just did on Theology of Lord of the Rings: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_aHNtxw1gPI).
Very much so, Marcus. Thank you! I very much look forward to watching it.
