Archbishop Paul Gallagher's remarks come one week after the World Bank blasted Lebanon's ruling class for "orchestrating" one of the world's worst national economic depressions due to their exploitative grip on resources.
"Let there be an end to the few profiting off the suffering of many. No more letting half-truth continue to frustrate people's aspirations," the archbishop said.
Lebanon is suffering a financial crisis that began in 2019 when its financial system collapsed under colossal state debts.
