[Petronski]

And Paul’s sons in the faith would have been wrong to call him “Father” in the sense of priesthood.

St. Paul, as a father of the Catholic Church, would have been perfectly comfortable with the title "Father," as 1Co 4:15 demonstrates.

[John Leland 1789]

“St. Paul, as a father of the Catholic Church, would have been perfectly comfortable with the title “Father,” as 1Co 4:15 demonstrates.”

So, Paul would have been perfectly comfortable having men disobey the Saviour. Okay. Is that the general rule any “father of the Catholic Church”?

Tell us then, with out a 40 page treatise from Anselm or someone, what exactly was the Lord Jesus Christ speaking about when He instructed, “Call no man on earth your father.” You could do that in one sentance. It has to mean something, and can’t be dismissed by the question, “What do you call your daddy?” It has a context in the chapter where Christ spoke those words; it has to mean something.
