Thanks, Salvation.
I suspect the controversial text is related to the following:
In relation to the challenges of the contemporary world, the Pope denounces the current economic system as unjust at its root. Such an economy kills because the law of the survival of the fittest prevails. The current culture of the disposable has created something new: the excluded are not the exploited but the outcast, the leftovers. A new tyranny is thus born, invisible and often virtual, of an autonomy of the market in which financial speculation and widespread corruption and self-serving tax-evasion reign.
Tax evasion is of course illegal and wrong -- the evasion becomes the burden to others. But I'm still curious about the intended message.
