Just for your information, Pope Francis was in the middle of it all along, had a hospital arranged, and got Alfie citizenship, Brits forbade Alfie and his parents to leave Britain. I don’t agree with him often, but he did not wait to speak after he was dead.
To make it worse, what did anyone from all the other 20,000 Christian denominations do? Not even a word, much less action.
He could have told the British Catholics to demonstrate in the streets and to flood their MPs with letters and e-mails. If there had been tens of thousands of people in the streets protesting against Alfies murder, the hospital would have been forced to let him go to Italy.
