Of all points you could put up, this isn't one of the best. Catholics call their priests father mostly because of the spiritual guidance their priests are to provide to the community they're estabilished in. The argument presented is that the priest's work isn't unlike parenting, and cite Paul's letters addressing the early Church as "my children", or "my sons". Not at all related to God, our Father in Heaven.
