Conor sits down with Fr. Sebastian Walshe, O.Praem to explore the life, mission, and ministry of St. John the Baptist. Most importantly, they unpack the historical evidence proving that St. John the Baptist was the one and only true high priest of Israel, and that Caiaphas and Annas were impostors.

Together, Conor and Fr. Walshe examine biblical parallels, typology, prophecy, and fulfillment, considering how these different elements reveal themselves in the lives of St. John and Jesus Christ. They discuss Saint John’s biographical background, the history of the high priesthood, Old and New Testament parallels, the meaning of the words "prophet" and "prophecy", St. John’s connection to Old Testament prophets, his martyrdom for defending marriage, and speculations about his sinless birth.
