Catholic News Agency reports on the medical crisis of Micah Kim, 5-year-old son of “Catholic” speaker Paul Kim, detailing his hospitalization since December 22, 2025, for severe internal bleeding. After emergency surgery stabilized his heart, an MRI revealed severe brain damage with doctors declaring “no medical possibility” of recovery. The family requests prayers through “Venerable” Fulton Sheen’s intercession while promoting a GoFundMe for medical expenses. This sentimental narrative masks grave theological deviations symptomatic of the conciliar sect’s apostasy.
Illegitimate Cult of Personality Surrounding Suspicious Figures
The article promotes devotion to “Venerable Fulton Sheen” – a television personality whose cause was advanced through the invalid processes of the conciliar sect. True beatification requires proof of miracles through intercession (Codex Iuris Canonici 1917, can. 2101), yet Sheen’s “venerable” status derives from the same anti-church that fabricated the “sainthood” of Modernists like John Paul II. The family’s plea constitutes illegitimate cultus given that Sheen never received pre-1958 recognition, making this appeal equivalent to consulting necromancers rather than canonized saints.
Sacramental Invalidity in the Conciliar Rites
When the text mentions Micah receiving “the sacrament of anointing of the sick on Dec. 23,” it omits the crucial fact that post-conciliar “sacraments” lack validity due to invalid ordination rites and heretical intentions. Pius XII’s Sacramentum Ordinis (1947) established that any alteration in sacramental form destroys validity, a principle violated by Paul VI’s Ordo Unctionis Infirmorum (1972). The so-called anointing administered by a conciliar “priest” constitutes mere ritual theater, leaving Micah without actual sacramental grace.
Naturalism Disguised as Piety
The entire narrative centers on medical prognoses and fundraising efforts while ignoring the primacy of supernatural realities. Not once does the article mention Micah’s baptismal status or urge prayers for his soul should death approach – a grave omission violating the Church’s teaching that “the salvation of souls must always be the supreme law in the Church” (1917 CIC, can. 1752). The GoFundMe campaign epitomizes this naturalism, reducing the Body of Christ’s spiritual works to Protestant-style crowd-funding rather than trusting in Deus Providebit through traditional charitable structures.
Modernist Corruption of Suffering’s Purpose
Paul Kim’s Instagram statement – “We’re waiting on the Lord, and we don’t give up trust” – exemplifies the emotionalism of the conciliar sect. Contrast this with St. Alphonsus Liguori’s teaching: “He who does not embrace the cross does not embrace Christ” (Uniformity with God’s Will). True Catholic response to suffering requires conformity to divine will rather than public pleas for miracles that bypass the Church’s canonical miracle verification processes. The focus on Micah “fighting for his life” ignores the higher battle for his eternal soul.
False Ecclesiology in “Global Prayer” Movement
The article touts an “outpouring of prayers across the globe” through social media, promoting the Protestant notion of the “invisible church” rather than the visible hierarchy established by Christ. Pius XII condemned such distorted ecclesiology: “Not every sin, however grave it may be, is such as of its own nature to sever a man from the Body of the Church…but only those that involve the deliberate refusal of submission to the supreme authority of Christ in the Church” (Mystici Corporis Christi 22). The conciliar sect’s global prayer networks substitute true ecclesiastical communion with digital emotivism.
Conclusion: Symptom of Ecclesial Collapse
This case exposes how the conciliar sect has replaced sacramental economy with emotional manipulation, canonical saints with media personalities, and supernatural hope with medical superstition. As the true Church teaches through Leo XIII: “When once men recognize, both in private and in public life, that Christ is King, society will at last receive the great blessings of real liberty, well-ordered discipline, peace and harmony” (Annum Sacrum). Until the Kim family and their supporters reject the counterfeit church and return to true sacraments through validly ordained priests, their prayers risk remaining unheard – not due to God’s absence, but because they approach Him through invalid channels.
