Exposing the Herods in our Church

John was not only a martyr for the Truth. Miraculous son of the elderly priest Zechariah, he was a priestly martyr.  John stood against Herod and his crony cadre of corrupted priests who backed his violation of the truth of sexuality and marriage. Herod used his power to sin.  John’s blood exposed also priestly corruption in a way that no one could ignore.  By the way, Herod’s command to kill John, the incorruptible priest, came from his lust for a child. Salome was a “little girl” (Greek korásion). -from Fr.Z
