Truth, Justice, Liberty in a Pluri-Anthropological World

•
•
Rome, RM

    In Italiano

    Woke culture and hyper-relativism have reached epic proportions. They affect how we worship, vote, educate, form families, and even conduct our everyday businesses. Will the human person of the 2025 Jubilee be finally liberated from this intellectual and spiritual disease after 25 years of rapid progression? Does the entanglement between errant anthropologies and secular political culture now make it impossible to reverse its course?

    We invite you to come listen, discern, and discuss along with an estimated 300 international religious and moral leaders in Rome: How do we assess and define the most destructive visions of the human person? What are the exact socio-political, psycho-spiritual, and economic repercussions?  How can we defend clearly and make attractive once again the truth, goodness, and beauty of a Judeo-Christian anthropology that emboldens man’s search for justice, freedom and flourishing?

    President Emeritus

    Speaking on: Enterprise, Freedom and Civil Society According to the True Anthropology

    Rev. Robert A. Sirico is president emeritus and the co-founder of the Acton Institute. In that capacity, he lectures at colleges, universities, and business organizations throughout the U.S. and abroad. His writings on religious, political, economic, and social matters are published in a variety of journals, including: the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, Forbes, the London Financial Times, the Washington Times, the Detroit News, and National Review. Fr. Sirico is often called upon by members of the broadcast media for statements regarding economics, civil rights, and issues of religious concern, and has provided commentary for CNN, ABC, the BBC, NPR, and CBS' 60 Minutes, among others.

    Fr. 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 an honorary doctorate in Social Sciences. He is a member of the prestigious Mont Pèlerin Society, the American Academy of Religion, and the Philadelphia Society, and is on the Board of Advisors of the Civic Institute in Prague. Father Sirico also served on the Michigan Civil Rights Commission from 1994 to 1998. His pastoral ministry has included a chaplaincy to AIDS patients at the National Institutes of Health. He is the Pastor Emeritus of Sacred Heart of Jesus parish in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

    Father Sirico holds dual Italian and American citizenship.
