“Call no man father”
Elsie,
Please comment on Saint Paul’s use of the term as illustrated in prior post:

Was Saint Paul just being a good Catholic?
--Jesus
Show us where Paul addressed anyone by the title of *Father* or was addressed that way as *Father Paul*.
The command of Jesus didn’t say that you couldn’t consider yourself a spiritual father in some sense.
It says *Call no man Father*. He is talking about addressing religious leaders by that title, which is EXACTLY what Catholics do with their priests.
BUt It constantly amazes me, the mental gymnastics Catholics will go through to justify and excuse away their disobedience to a clear concise command of Jesus.
