You misinterpret Jesus’ admonition about using the term “father”.

Matthew 23: 8-10 But you are not to be called rabbi, for you have one teacher, and you are all brothers.And call no man your father on earth, for you have one Father, who is in heaven.Neither be called instructors, for you have one instructor, the Christ.

No, I don't because Jesus commanded His disciples to neither address any spiritual leader as *Father*. Catholics are disobeying a clear, unequivocal command of Jesus by addressing priests as *Father*.

You reject the church’s teaching on truckloads of doctrine.

Yes, because truckloads of CATHOLIC CHURCH doctrine are wrong in that they do NOT line up with Scripture.

I don't reject Scripture. I reject the Catholics twisting of Scripture to support the doctrines they have invented.

You cannot explain how Paul can claim fatherhood in the Bible, like the church teaches, and instead reject both Paul, and the church.

Sure because claiming fatherhood in the sense that Paul did is NOT addressing him by the title *Father Paul*.

That is more like Mr. Luther than like Jesus, who was subject to his parents, an authority established by God.

Your opinion has been duly noted and you are entitled to it.

But it means and proves nothing.

Where did I reject Scriptural teaching on how women are to behave in church?

Or did you assume that you knew what I meant?

As to being a father and a religious leader going by the title of *Father _____* if you fail to see the difference it's due to the level of indoctrination you have received.

“... I reject Scriptural teaching on how women are to behave in church?...”

Do you follow Saint Paul as he also is of Christ, such as these words of his in his letter?

From 1 CORINTHIANS - Chapter 11:1-10

1 Be ye followers of me, as I also am of Christ.

2 Now I praise you, brethren, that in all things you are mindful of me: and keep my ordinances as I delivered them to you.

3 But I would have you know *that the head of every man is Christ: and the head of the woman is the man: and the head of Christ, is God.

4 Every man praying or prophesying with his head covered, disgraceth his head.

5 But every woman praying or prophesying with her head not covered, disgraceth her head: for it is all one as if she were shaven.

6 For if a woman be not covered, let her be shorn. But if it be a shame to a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her cover her head.

7 The man, indeed, ought not to cover his head: because he is the *image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of the man.

8 For the man is not of the woman, but the woman of the man.

9 *For the man was not created for the woman, but the woman for the man.

10 Therefore ought the woman to have a power over her head, because of the Angels.
