Rev. Robert A. Sirico is known by many as a public intellectual. He is often in the pages of prominent newspapers or on the radio or television, being called upon for statements regarding economics, civil rights, and issues of religious concern. As president of the Acton Institute, Rev. Sirico 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. In addition to his leadership of the Acton Institute, Rev. Sirico is a parish priest, with responsibility for St. Mary’s Parish in Kalamazoo.
Joseph A. Morris, a graduate of the college and the law school of the University of Chicago, is a partner in the law firm of Morris & De La Rosa, with offices in Chicago and London, maintaining an active practice in constitutional, business, labor, and international law.

The Wall Street Journal ranked Mr. Wesbury the nation’s #1 U.S. economic forecaster in 2001 and USA Todayranked him as one of the nation’s top 10 forecasters in 2004. Mr. Wesbury is a member of the Academic Advisory Council of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago and an adjunct professor of economics at Wheaton College. Steve Forbes hailed Mr. Wesbury’s second book, It’s Not As Bad As You Think (Wiley, 2009), as “The perfect book for these turbulent, uncertain times.”
Father Sirico was on the NR cruise post-2008 election. He’s a very good speaker with good things to say. I think his brother was the star of the Sopranos.
It was a good event. He mentioned his brother was on the Sopranos.
