    The thread is getting a bit off OP
    The op is How do you address a Catholic Priest - that is - would you call him Father.

    The diversion is using the term Reverend.
    I have started a new thread on that -
    That pesky title of Reverend

    and now back to the OP

    I wonder.....how is Paul referring to Christians as their spiritual children not giving themselves the title of "father"?

    Are we looking at the context prohibiting calling men "father" correctly?

    Well I don't know about Paul but I'm sure Paul wouldn't go against Christ who said in Matthew:

    Matthew 23:9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.

    I have a friend who always starts a prayer with Papa!... Brother Glen:)

    Btw... Jon it might be of some help if you would give the scripture, or scriptures you are referring to... Not a mind reader!
