Blogs displaying html tags even though template is set to use ckeditor

Hi this is the code:

<perch:blog id="postDescHTML" type="textarea" label="Post" order="2" editor="ckeditor" markdown="false" size="xxl autowidth" required="false" />

if you view https://www.qccartoon.com/post3.php?s=2017-10-13-queens-counsel-wins-best-strip-cartoon you can see tht <p> tags are displaying.

Is the code above missing something which will alllow it to display HTML?
