Roche first pointed to the Gospel, in which Jesus says “And do not call anyone on earth ‘Father,’ for you have but one Father who is in heaven” (Matthew 23:9). Although Dew admits that the passage is “difficult to interpret and understand, “ he said “the meaning is clear. Jean-Pierre Roche says that to be called “Father” is to usurp the place of God.”

It's not difficult to understand and needs no interpretation.

It's pretty simple, actually, as he demonstrated in so succinctly explaining it.

It's only difficult to interpret for those who don't want to obey it.

Looking for an excuse to disobey God is always challenging.

The Church teaches that a priest, by virtue of the sacrament of Holy Orders, acts in persona Christi Capitis...

In my opinion, denying the presence of Father in a priest is tantamount to denying transubstantiation (the body and blood of Christ in the Eucharist).

Denying the Real Presence, IOW denying the reality of God, is what novelty of this type is is all about...

Catholic heads; all over the world; are exploding!

In Polish the term is "Ksiądz" i.e. "priest" so "Priest, how you would say this' or "Praise to God, priest"

Brother or "Brat" we use just for monks or novitiates - sometimes even if they are priests
