[Iscool]

St. Paul describes himself as "father" in that he is bringing the Gospel to his spiritual children. He calls himself that several times during his epistles.

So what's that got to do with you calling a mere man the Holy Father???

You might want to actually look outside the Church of Iscool (population one) to actual Christianity. I showed you that Paul referred to himself as spiritual father on a number of occasions. Now as to holy:

http://www.webster-dictionary.net/definition/Holy says that:

Definition of Holy
Ho´ly
a. 1. Set apart to the service or worship of God; hallowed; sacred; reserved from profane or common use; holy vessels; a holy priesthood.
2. Spiritually whole or sound; of unimpaired innocence and virtue; free from sinful affections; pure in heart; godly; pious; irreproachable; guiltless; acceptable to God.

See? It's so simple even an Iscool can get it.

[Cronos]

So, just as Paul calls himself father, it’s the same here. Besides in other languages one doesn’t necessarily call priest father. As a supposed ex-Catholic, you, iscool, should know that — or are you still searching for the Baptist group that will allow wine?
