Why Do Catholics Refer To Priests As 'father'? by mmsen(op): 9:24pm On Jun 19, 2016
Why do Catholics refer to priests as 'Father' when the Bible claims that Jesus said:

"Don’t call anyone on earth your father. All of you have the same Father in heaven.
None of you should be called the leader. The Messiah is your only leader."

Matt 23:9 - 10

Any logical answers?

Why do you call Oritsejafor Papa? Why do you call Adeboye and Oyedepo Daddy? Go and read the Bible. I have even noticed recently that Oyedepo followers are wearing his medallion.

So you haven't stopped reasoning like a child.

The Bible also says we should pluck an eye that leads us to sin...

Now ask your childish question on that passage too.

"Nonsense" that you're addicted to.

Day and night, you're occupied with this "nonsense."

Thank you, brother.

I'm still waiting for him to ask why Christians aren't plucking their eyes.

Guess he has seen how foolish he sounds.

I read something, I asked a question - why does that enrage you?

What happened to your 'Christian compassion'?

Is 'God' no longer love, patient, kind and true? Do you not claim to have 'God' in your heart?

You assume that I'm enraged.

Because you're looking for straws to cling to.

Keep asking foolish questions.

Why is it a 'foolish question'?

Is the Bible wrong? Is the Catholic Church wrong?

If you cannot already see how foolish your question is, then nothing can help you.

It is equally wrong to do so. Jesus words was against religious titles, including daddy, father etc.
