On January 23, addressing 10,000 Roman Catholics crammed into the Basilica of Guadalupe, in Mexico, one of the church's most venerated sites, Pope John Paul II appeared to be wagging his finger both at Mexico and the United States, his two hosts on his 85th foreign journey. "No more violence, terrorism and drug trafficking," a tired-looking pope, speaking in English, said in his homily to bursts of applause. "No more torture or other forms of abuse. There must be an end to the unnecessary recourse to the death penalty."
