My goodness how very sweet and thoughtful. I hope this photo puts Alfie’s murderers to shame, but something tells me that NOTHING can touch people who are without conscience.

Liz and the false Pope couldn’t be bothered while he was alive. Why should the Pope speak out now? Too little, too late.

I am no fan of this pope, and in fact think he's the worst pope in centuries, but he did actually bother this while Alfie was alive and met with the dad and advocated for them. First (and probably last) time I've thought he did a decent job with anything.

I have no doubt that the child received an injection to facilitate this ending.

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 Alfie’s murder, the hospital would have been forced to let him go to Italy.

May be the first time I’ve ever agreed with Pope Frank.

Right ?
A broKen clock is right twice a day
Now to be fair to his holiness
And again whether or not you agree with him he IS Papa
He has lived himself. A life of poverty. Not wealth
He himself washes the feet of the poor
Thanks gives him more credibility than a pope from wealth
The fact that he’s been in the slums of Rio and San Cristobal
Should allow us wordly folks to understand why the cry of socialists
“ we are for the poor!” Should sway his thinking
Mostly he is. A sincere and very humble man of God
Who is just over his head on the world stage
The fact that he made this statement about this little angel should tell you all you need to know about this guy
I like him. A lot
And I HATE socialism. To my CORE
cheers.

That’s OK. You are also descended-— in spirit anyway -— from the great English Catholic recusants and saints.

He could have told the British Catholics to protest 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 Alfie’s murder and hundreds of thousands of angry e-mails, the hospital would have been forced to let him go to Italy.

:o) You always seem to find a bright side. The Church’s history in England does go back many centuries before Henry the Fat came on the scene. Thanks for the reminder.

I pray for Pope Francis every day.

It does seem, though, that there's a "God Francis" and a "Bad Francis." The more you scrutinize some of his decisions, the more it makes yuou think either he's losing his mind, or you're losing yours.

I'm at the point where, when he says something that's great and wonderful, I expect to hear the opposite within 24 - 48 hours. It's.... disturbing.

And to his critics --- and they have their reasons -- I always say (Tagline)

This did not have to happen the way that it did. Hopefully Alfie’s parents will bring that to light in a documentary or even a movie.
