The Times reports as such:
Pope Benedict XVI is working on a doctrinal pronouncement that will condemn tax evasion as socially unjust, according to Vatican sources. In his second encyclical the most authoritative statement a pope can issue the pontiff will denounce the use of tax havens and offshore bank accounts by wealthy individuals, since this reduces tax revenues for the benefit of society as a whole.
It will focus on humanitys social and economic problems in an era of globalisation. Pope Benedict intends to argue for a world trade and economic system regulated in such a way as to avoid further injustice and discrimination, Ignazio Ingrao, a Vatican watcher, said yesterday.

Now, the sentiment is nice, but I'm pissed off at the hypocrisy of the whole thing. So this goes out to the guy with the big pointy hat: the vatican is probably one of the wealthiest organizations in the world and possesses art treasures that are worth untold fortunes. And you're being pissy with other people's riches???
Um, yeah. Makes perfect sense.
