#AlfieEvans

This situation with this child Alfie Evans has disturbed and saddened me for several weeks in a way that not much else has in my priesthood.

1) Starving a child to death
2) Not letting Italy fly the child to try experimental treatment
3) Obliterating parental rights to care for their child
4) The social media platforms (Twitter and Facebook) and the traditional media silencing the pushback 

It is all sickening and disturbing on a MASSIVE scale

All I can do is say “Jesus, I trust in you”

Chapter 12 of the Book of Revelation is helpful too:

“Woe to you, earth and sea, for the Devil has come down to you in great fury, for he knows he has but a short time.”

Two English mothers - one gets attention and excitement of the media and the world and England and would get all the care England could muster and the other England has decided to starve to death and not let the parents take him to Italy for experimental procedures

May God have mercy on our world
