A 1992 Christian Science Monitor report on Mexico's constitutional reform of that January, which amended Articles 3, 5, 24, 27 and 130 and, with the Law on Religious Associations and Public Worship signed that July, restored legal personality to churches and ended the ban on monastic orders after decades of anticlerical restriction, while keeping the state formally laico with no funding channel for religious associations established alongside it.
