Catholic fundamentalists advised Alfie’s parents and arranged for medical experts to assess the terminally ill child before his death
Within days of the death of 11-month-old Charlie Gard last July, a Christian missionary in Rome spotted a Facebook post about a baby named Alfie Evans. The post by Alfie’s father, Thomas Evans, explained that his 13-month-old son had a degenerative neurological condition and that doctors wanted to switch off his life-support. The case of Alfie, who died on Saturday at Alder Hey children’s hopsital in Liverpool, five days after his life support was switched off, was little known outside Liverpool. That soon changed.
Christine Broesamle, an American “pro-life” activist based in Italy, got in touch with Evans. Her friends were advising Charlie’s parents about flying him to Italy for treatment, she said, and the same could be done for Alfie. Unsurprisingly, Evans took up her offer of help.
