Michael Ramirez is a two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial cartoonist with the Las Vegas Review-Journal. His cartoons are syndicated by Creators. Michael won his second Pulitzer while at Investor's Business Daily.
Issues & Insights is run by seasoned journalists who were behind the Pulitzer Prize-winning IBD Editorials page (before it was summarily shut down). Our goal then and now is to bring our decades of combined journalism experience to help readers understand the top issues of the day. I&I is a completely independent operation, beholden to none, but committed to providing cogent, rational, data-driven, fact-based commentary that the nation so desperately needs.

The test of the leadership of this new Pope will be if he truly understands the concept and morality of the separation of church and state that is fundamental in the US.
The last Popes felt no restraints against intruding, (illegally) into US cultural and public policies.
Preach within your own parish walls, and respect our principal of separation of church and state here in the United States.
Most of our citizens are not Catholics, and you, Pope Leo, were not elected by our voters.
Michael, the new pope is relatively young – he’s not quite 70 yet. I appreciate your cartoon, but maybe you can render it with a little less wrinkles? Thank you and God bless you.
