The cartoon shows Steve Bannon, labeled clearly, gesturing emphatically while decrying Pope Leo XIV as the first American pope but not America First. The pope, in white robes and red cap, responds that a Christian's job is to put God first. Tags such as Vatican, conclave, Catholics, Christianity, Jesus Christ, and border underscore the satire on blending partisan politics with faith. The drawing captures a stark divide, with Bannon's angry expression contrasting the pope's stern look. Alexandra Bowman's style brings dry humor to the clash between nationalism and religious priorities.
