"Except when we Catholics call our priests, "Father"."

You ready to go literal on the Bible? or remove those pages you can't avoid? You want to rewrite the fourth commandment to "Honor thy Mother's Husband and Mother"?? Or did Jesus intend toss aside Moses? No. Your just being dishonest.
NO CATHOLIC confuses or refers to a Priest, Bishop or Pope - AS God. And you know that.
Were you born in a test tube, without a Mother and Father? If married- do you have a Father-in-law ??

So -You contend then St. Paul contradicts Matthew when he says Father- and NOT referring to God- ? Well that's Error then....

15 For though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.
7:2-4, Stephen refers to the ancestors of Abraham, the word “father” being used.

Philippians 2:22, Paul said, “But Timothy’s worth you know, how like a son with a father he has served with me in the work of the gospel.”

St. Paul refers to himself as a spiritual father in Philemon 10, “I am appealing to you for my child, Onesimus, whose father I have become during my imprisonment.

Either the few biblical references above (there are more) show that using the word “father” are sufficient to prove that Jesus was not forbidding everybody from using the word “father. - or the Bible is factually - and literally- in error.... Or maybe we just pretend the word Father isn't used in the Bible...
