In the Catholic tradition it is customary to violate Jesus exortation in Matt 23:9 in which he states, call no man father and call no man on this earth master because we have but one good father who is in heaven, there is only one master who is the same one in heaven.
Yet that Moses delivered the law to 'honor [our bilogical] fathers and mothers', the distinction is clear about who our good father is and that our own are not the good father, but our father of a different sort.
I would call my son, were he a catholic priest by the respected name.
Knowing that [u]all[/u] fall short of the glory and perfection of our true and good father in heaven. However I know that the one above understands that I know what I mean when I use the term and allows to forgive me for it.
