Exploiting Tragedy: The Modernist Distortion of Suffering and Death in the Kim Case
The portal Catholic News Agency (January 1, 2026) reports the death of five-year-old Micah Kim, son of “Catholic speaker and influencer” Paul Kim. The child died on December 31, 2025, after medical complications from influenza. The article emphasizes viral social media engagement (50 million views), a GoFundMe campaign, and emotional narratives about Micah’s alleged postmortem “missions to bring millions closer to God.” Cardinal and episcopal figures from the conciliar sect are cited as participants in this spectacle. This coverage exemplifies the neo-church’s reduction of supernatural faith to therapeutic emotivism and digital exhibitionism.
