. . . The high-handed treatment by U.K. doctors and judges is hard to separate from their disregard for the intangible value that the Catholic hospital offered, that the young couple sought, and that the state prevented them from enjoying. The state had no place there. Its intrusion will not be forgotten any time soon.

“The hospital withdrew Alfie’s life support Monday,” the Associated Press reports, “after a series of court rulings sided with doctors.” Sided with doctors. Which ones?

Alfie Evans died at 2:30 a.m. BST on April 28, the feast of Saint Peter Chanel, a martyr. Requiescat in pace.

My gladiator lay down his shield and gained his wings at 2:30 absolutely heartbroken love you my guy."
