Ailing toddler Alfie Evans, whose plight has tugged at the world’s heartstrings throughout the past week, died in the early hours of Saturday morning after being removed from life support.

In an April 28 Facebook post, Alfie’s father, Tom Evans, said: “My gladiator lay down his shield and gained his wings at 02:30…absolutely heartbroken. I love you my guy.”

Just shy of two years old, Alfie had been in what physicians described as a “semi-vegetative state” due to a mysterious degenerative neurological condition that doctors at Alder Hey Children’s Hospital in Liverpool, England have not been able to properly diagnose…

Wara intervista ma’ persuna anonima li xxandret fuq One News, u li skont kif ġie rrappurtat, dak li għaddiet minnu jmur kontra t-tagħlim tal-Knisja, l-Arċisqof Charles J. Scicluna xtaq jiltaqa’ ma’ din il-persuna iżda din irrifjutat.

Filwaqt li l-Azzjoni Kattolika Maltija (AKM) ittenni l-pożizzjoni tagħha favur il-ħajja, nixtiequ niġbdu l-attenzjoni dwar it-ton li qed jiġi wżat fid-diskussjoni dwar l-Embryo Protection Act.

B’dispjaċir ninnutaw illi f’diversi waqtiet d-dibattitu dwar din il-liġi qed jieħu t-ton ta’ ġlieda ta’ opinjonijiet. Ħafna drabi l-kliem użat, speċjalment fuq il-mezzi tal-midja soċjali hu ta’ tgħajjir u kliem li jweġġa’ lejn xulxin u lejn il-politiċi involuti fuq iż-żewġ naħat…

“L-inklużjoni ta’ persuni b’diżabilitajiet, fil-livelli kollha tas-soċjetà, hija parti sħiħa mill-impenn biex inħaddnu l-valuri demokratiċi, u nissalvagwardjaw id-drittijiet umani universali.” Dan kien wieħed mill-messaġġi li wasslet il-President ta’ Malta, Marie-Louise Coleiro Preca meta għamlet id-diskors tal-ftuħ fil-konferenza “Every Life Matters” fil-Grand Hotel Excelsior. Il-konferenza kellha l-għan li tqajjem għarfien dwar l-inklużjoni u t-theddid li jiffaċċjaw persuni b’diżabiltajiet, li ħajjithom hija mhedda sa mill-bidu tagħha fil-ġuf…

“Next weekend, the Holy Father will receive at the Casa Santa Marta three victims of abuse committed by the clergy in Chile: respectively Juan Carlos Cruz, James Hamilton and Jose Andrés Murillo.

The Pope thanks them for accepting his invitation: during these days of personal and fraternal encounter, he wishes to ask their forgiveness, share their pain and his shame for what they have suffered and, above all, listen to their suggestions so as to avoid a repetition of these reprehensible facts…
