The English and Welsh Bishops defended Alder Hey hospital hours after Alfie’s father begged Pope Francis to grant his son ‘asylum’

He prayed that sick people are cared for ‘with the unanimous support of family members, doctors and other medical professionals’

The Pope said he hoped ‘everything necessary may be done in order to continue compassionately accompanying little Alfie Evans’
Alfie Evans’s parents have the right to decide their child’s treatment, not Alder Hey
Authorities must allow the parents to follow their heart and exercise their rights to decide Alfie’s future
