So I just have never preferred the title "Father" for priests. So many other titles could be used that don't bump into Scripture at all.
But if we go with the idea that people can be our "father in the faith" like Paul refers to, this is my dilemma -
What about when the priest is in no real way your spiritual father? He hasn't really contributed to raising you in the faith?
At this point - what is one saying if they call him "father"?
