Well, if the leader (I refuse to call him “Pope,” which means “Father” - and Jesus said to call no man your father) of catholicism says so, it must be true.

Christ was speaking to the Jews in that passage. Not to us.

Not siding with the Catholic church but the translation of the word “father” as in “call no man father” actually means “call no man creator (father of creation).

“Pope” comes from “Papa,” not “Pater.” Of course, Catholics do call priests, “Pater.”

Jesus also said:Mat 23:8 But you are not to be called rabbi, for you have one teacher, and you are all brothers.

Mat 23:9 And call no man your father on earth, for you have one Father, who is in heaven.

Mat 23:10 Neither be called instructors, for you have one instructor, the Christ.

I guess you can't call anyone Doctor either since that means teacher or instructor.

Yeah don't let the facts get in the way of bigotry

The same verse also says call no man “teacher,” so I assume you refuse to use that term too? BTW, what did you call the man you gave you half your genes?
