“Call no man father”...... it is 4 words...how much interpretation is possible.....

Not much, with the possible interpretation of the word "father" My dad was ALWAYS my father and I still refer to him as such. He was not, however, my heavenly father because ONLY GOD has a right to that title. My grandfather has an even higher Earthly title GRAND, and as for my GREAT GRAND FATHER...well we could go on and on. None, however is my heavenly Father and we ALL know that....

Not much,

Wrong.

None.

In context, Jesus was talking about titles given to religious leaders, NOT children addressing their male parent.

But context never mattered much to the Catholic church.
