Rev. Robert A. Sirico received his Master of Divinity degree from the Catholic University of America, following undergraduate study at the University of Southern California and the University of London. During his studies and early ministry, he experienced a growing concern over the lack of training religious studies students receive in fundamental economic principles, leaving them poorly equipped to understand and address today's social problems. As a result of these concerns, Fr. Sirico co-founded the Acton Institute with Kris Alan Mauren in 1990.

In April of 1999, Fr. Sirico was awarded an honorary doctorate in Christian Ethics from the Franciscan University of Steubenville, and in May of 2001, Universidad Francisco Marroquin awarded him

“Theocracy is the destruction of human freedom in the name of God. Libertinism is the destruction of moral norms in the name of liberty. Neither will do.”
Robert Sirico, Defending the Free Market: The Moral Case for a Free Economy

“Civilizations fail. The reason they fail is also plain. When civilizational virtues are eroded from within, people lose the capacity to defend the good things those habits enabled previous generations to achieve. Think of ancient Greece; or the Roman Empire; or Germany in the 1930s. There are many other examples.”
Robert Sirico, Defending the Free Market: The Moral Case for a Free Economy

“the heroic path is, essentially, about making small choices that add up to a big life. A life in which you make a difference—in yourself, in others, in the world. A life in which you forgive yourself for your trespasses, knowing that you’ve learned from them, and in which you forgive the trespasses of others. A life in which you close your eyes for the last time without regret, confident that you took the hours and days and years you were given and made something spectacular out of them.”
Robert Sirico, A Field Guide for the Hero's Journey
