Visa, Mastercard abandon joint ventur
NEW YORK (AP) —Visa U.S.A.
Inc. and Mastercard International
agreed to abandon a national debit
card venture to settle charges by 14
states including Texas that they
schemed to monopolize the emerg
ing market, it was announced Tues
day.
But the giant credit card associa
tions — the world’s largest with a
combined 370 million cardholders
worldwide — denied the allegations
and said they agreed to the set

Both said they would continue de

Pope calls for reform in Mexico
(cross

*A

said
AGUASCALIENTES, Mexico
(AP) — Pope John Paul II said Tues
day the church and state in Mexico
are reaching a better understanding
and issued a veiled appeal for a re
peal of the decades-old constitu
tional ban on Catholic schools.
“Open the world of teaching to
Christ!” the pope cried in a speech to
a crowd that included many school
teachers.
The pope’s appeal came on the
third day of his second trip to Mex
ico. His schedule Tuesday also in
cluded a Mass with youths at the
nearby shrine of San Juan de los La
gos and a talk to diplomats in Mexico
City.
Because the pope was only stop
ping off at the airport here, 2/5
miles northwest of Mexico City, rep
licas of downtown colonial buildings
were installed as a backdrop.
The pope, speaking under a white
parasol to ward off the blazing sun,
noted recent increased contacts be
tween the Vatican and Mexico,
whose constitution has harsh restric
tions on religious activity.
“A new perspective of contacts be
tween the church and the political
community of this country is occur
ring in this day,” the pope said.
“And in this phase of better under
standing and dialogue, the church
wants to offer its own support, with
out straying from its specific goals
and abilities.”
It was the pope’s most direct pub
lic comment on the gradual relaxa
tion of the church-state relationship
in Mexico that was symbolized when
President Carlos Salinas de Gortari
met John Paul at the Mexico City air
port on Sunday.
According to the 1917 constitu
tion, all schools must be govern
ment-run, with a curriculum set by
federal authorities.
In practice, however, Catholic
schools and universities have long
existed and are growing in number.
In one of the paradoxes that charac
terizes church-state relations, many
government leaders send their chil
dren to Catholic schools, which are
generally considered of higher qual
ity.

They are wondering aloud
about the church’s willingness to
reach political accommodations
with a party that has been in
power for 61 years.
The conservative, pro-govern

cartoon about church opposition

They are criticizing Roman

He added that he hoped Mexicans
would overcome the idea that the
church had obstructed cultural and

The pope drew wild cheers when
he spontaneously saluted the “cora-

Aguascalientes, which means hot wa
