Event Factoid: John confronted Theodora about the corrupt bishops and the persecution of Christians. Theodora, angry, sought to punish the jealous bishops, but relented after John interceded on their behalf. She commanded John to cease his ordinations, something he was glad to do due to a growing illness.
