I'm a retired Pentecostal minister. I always call a Catholic priest 'Father'. It is respectful and a courtesy. I would tell my congregations that you cannot build a doctrine on part of a verse taken out of context. I told them that when you fill out an application for work or school they don't question where it says "father's name".

@@Quisl I agree ☝️ completely friend. From what I see though, Yes Paul called himself there spiritual father, but they didn’t call him father …(call no man on earth father) … and it’s obviously not talking about earthly fathers, because the entire chapter is Jesus exposing the hypocrisy of the religious priests of his day…. So our Lord is talking about the hypocritical ,prideful, priests in this verse. Paul never told them to call him father, he was just stating a fact… that he’s there spiritual father. He planted there church, showed them the gospel and turned them from worshiping demons…he never said to call him Gods Title. I’m sure when he saw the Corinthians in person they called him Paul, or brother….not Father, because it’s almost a form of worship when you call a man the Name of God (Abba, Our Father) because Jesus said about the religious priests - “They do all their deeds to be seen by others. For they make their phylacteries broad and their fringes long, and they love the place of honor at feasts and the best seats in the synagogues and greetings in the marketplaces and being called rabbi by others. But you are not to be called rabbi, for you have one teacher, and you are all brothers. And call no man your father on earth, for you have one Father, who is in heaven. Neither be called instructors, for you have one instructor, the Christ. The greatest among you shall be your servant. Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.” -Saint Matthew chapter 23 And were these not the instructions for the church? How can men add to the Word?

As someone not only raised protestant, but the preacher's granddaughter, I was of this view. It was pounded into my head that this was not appropriate for any church to ask for people to refer to anyone as Father....My husband is Catholic, but never could really explain this to me to the point where I would feel comfortable addressing any pastor or lead person of the church as Father....I am so glad I came across this video because with the use of scripture and the explanation of what the intent is, not only is it endearing, but makes good sense. This was the last piece of the puzzle that I was missing that, once again, you have explained beautifully. Thank you for that Father Casey and yes, I say Father, as the decision was recently made to convert, after a long time of soul searching and praying. The catholic masses are beyond words and I actually enjoy church...I have not been able to say that in a long time.

This specific issue people seem to have feels overblown to me, just personally. It feels like the spirt of the verse is to keep in mind the big picture, that your ultimate goal is Heaven and God is both judge and redeemer, to look to Him first. Like Sir Thomas More felt, his heart, loyalty, and belief was first and foremost in God.

(Exodus 20:8-11) the second commandment from YHVH reads: Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I יהוה thy Elohim am a jealous Elohim, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

This passage is not about the choice of title. That is, Jesus is not singling out 'Rabbi', 'Father' and 'Master' as inappropriate. He is correcting this tendency to exalt religious leaders, by giving them special titles. "They love greetings in the market places, and being called 'Rabbi'". In Acts and the epistles we see that men were recognized as serving certain functions in the church: apostle, deacon, evangelist, prophet (prophetess), elder - but never is anybody addressed by these as if it is some kind of title. Btw, Protestants do the same thing as Catholics, here, just changing it to 'Reverend', or the emerging 'Pastor Bob'. It's the same thing, and we all need to repent.

God Almighty continue to enrich you in knowledge and wisdom of His holy word. Amen!!!. Thanks Fr. Casey

One of the points of their contetion was us calling our priests "Father." After the meeting, I was more sad than enlightened. I felt their discrimination and push, and I felt so belittled. Thank you for this, Father! I feel much better now because you helped me understand the Gospel. :)

Jesus never said don't call anybody Pastor or Shepherd. Jesus said don't call anybody Rabbi or Father, and remember many times Jesus spoke in parables. But God did say through David before David became king, "The LORD is my shepherd I shall not want..." As nouns the difference between reverence and honor is that reverence is veneration, profound awe and respect, normally in a sacred context _ while honor is -uncountable- recognition of importance or value_ respect. On the other hand reverencing God by calling Him_ Father or Heavenly Father one should reverence God and His laws. And I would never call my dad father in a reverence way because that title only belongs to my Heavenly Father. But when I speak directly to my dad I do call him father. Because God has told me in his Commandments "Honor your father and your mother" this has a reward attached to it which is long life. But I don't call my Earthly dad father in a reverence way that title only belongs to my Heavenly Father. And what's more remarkable is that we read in Isaiah " For unto us a child is born unto us a Son is given, and his name shall be called wonderful, counselor, the Mighty God, "The Everlasting Father", the Prince of Peace." And as we all know this is talking about Christ Jesus - God incarnate. Immanuel meaning_ God With us.

So Why don't you use the verses that talks about Abraham being referred to as their father? because they claimed Abraham to be their father but Jesus told these Pharisees if you were Abraham's children you would believe me because Abraham saw my day and he was glad - and before Abraham was I AM, but you are children of the devil _ is what Jesus continued to tell them. 🌿 When these Pharisees were referring to Abraham as their father, they were talking about bloodline. When Steven before being stoned to death and Paul who was being cast out of the Temple in a aggressive way they both refer to these people when trying to reason with them as brothers and fathers. in other words there were young people there and there were older people there as well being aggressive against Christians. 🌿 God is our Father not only in that He is our Creator, but that He is also Our Redeemer _this is what distinguishes the Christians relationship to God, and what allows us to relate to Him as Father. In the Old Testament God is the Father of Israel, in the context of God forgiving and redeeming Israel. While the Jews of Jesus's day were hesitant to call God their Father_ and angry at Jesus for doing so. Jesus claimed God as His Father_ and told His followers to do the same. 🌿 God is the Father, and is also the Son, Whom the Father sent to carry out His Plan of Redemption. What distinguishes the Son from the Father is not the quality of His being which is just as Divine as the Father's is, but the functioning of their relationship, According to which the Son had come into the world to do the Father's will. We relate to God as Father_ therefore through Jesus the Son, sharing in His sonship through the adoption we receive through Christ's redeeming work for us. 🌿 But by Nature we are not children of God. As his creatures we have nothing in common with His divine Being, but by the indwelling presence of His Holy Spirit we have been integrated into the Life of the Trinity. And it is because of this presence of the Spirit in us that we are able to approach the Father and have a relationship with Him_ Like Paul wrote in the Galatians, there it reads_ "Because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying "Abba, Father!" So you are no longer a Slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God. 📖Galatians 4:6 -7.

But I give them that respect and a lot of the priests that I have sat down with they can enjoy having a chat with me because they know I know about a lot of history of scriptures especially when it comes to Judaism so when they do have a teaching and I participate a lot of the Catholic members they never heard stuff that I come out and teach but that's because I purpose to go and learn more I do like to go to the church and take my time to pray my greatest prayer is not just to our father but I love to express myself from my heart to God's heart.

Like the difference between what I feel when I say/think "Father" (reverential) versus "father" (implied OR genetic relationship). I am persuaded on fathers in the faith, just as St. Paul says, and we might even capitalize the "F" when using it as a title. Even so, it's a humble title. And certainly priests can be considered fathers in the faith and their title is thus appropriate. But "Father" in the profound, reverential sense -- this is reserved to God. We should not look at fellow humans in that way. Right?

best video i've seen on this topic

Great Video!!!

There is an interesting article at religion-online dot org called “Are Mother and Father Appropriate Titles for Protestant Clergy?” It seems before the mid 1800s Protestants sometimes called their clergy “father” and US Catholics usually didn’t. What a surprising switch! One article does not make for extensive research; but I grew up Baptist and had never even heard of this.

Fr. Casy left NO CRUMBS at 6:25! Go father go!!

This is a weak criticism as everyone call their male parent “father”

Walter Romanoff this is a bad faith argument. No one is my Father (notice the capital F please) but God. The pope is the represent of the Church of God (the catholic Chruch) on earth. That’s all. If you were a real Christian you would follow the Word of God also through His Church. That’s it. May the Holy Spirit open your mind to the Truth 🙏🏻

Leo Kim Don’t talk for all Catholics You are so ignorant popes over the last 2000 years have ruled your church What is taught what is believed What ever you believe about God is from the teachings of the pope and Vatican Jesus did not want that Jesus said am the only way to the father Mary popes Saints icons statues relics and other Catholic religion teachings are not the WAY You have been deceived Catholic Church is a pagan cult of Satan an Antichrist religion Nothing you have been taught is true Learn your bible Find a church that teaches with it Search for truth Pray for understanding Good luck

@@walterromanoff2953 So remember that when you point finger at others, there's three back at you. You like calling others satanists and antichrist because it makes you feel better. There's plenty of videos in this channel explaining why you're wrong in every way. Besides, the Catholic Church is the one that compiled the Bible, period. You believe in the Bible, then you belive in Catholic, you just chose to practice differently. Some might say that in itself a satanic deed. Who knows...

There was once an angry protestant i met online who refused to call his father , father but his name. hahahaha.

Hello! Father, nice video.

well done ....thank you

Peace be with your spirit, father

Great explanation ! To any Protestant trolls, open your eyes and hearts to the Word of God.

Uncritical anti intellectual literalism, that's a good one.

In that same scripture it says call no one teacher but Protestants definitely do, its also hypocrisy and poor teaching that it's fine to say happy Father's day but wrong to call a preist father. I think it's very ok and respectful to call your preist Father just as long as you don't see him as God. When Jesus said call noone Father I think he was talking about the hypocrites

Ah, the gospel passage proclaimed during the Eucharist on Tuesday of the Second Week of Lent! (Matthew 23).

From a Catholic perspective, I see no harm in the title 'Father' for the Priest. A Priest is called to be a spiritual guide who shepherds his church to their salvation. Also it's a title of authority which the Lord God has authority in Earth as it is in Heaven. So a Catholic Priest is representing the Heavenly Father.

Graci Padre.

hi, thank you for your videos. What bible are you using to get these verses? In KJV it does not translate the same.

Living our lives literally by individual verses as mottos/slogans can be lead us to believing in illogical, untrue, unbibilical, non-cannonical, heretical views. It happened to me and I have seen others getting lost. Many are lost at this moment following false cults (such as World Mission Society Church of God) I Thank God that He didn't leave me but kept me showing and with years of studying with open eyes, I came back to Catholic faith which I then knew was absolutely true in it's core teachings. Sometimes it was evangelicals and baptist preaching that kept leading me back to the right path. Now I know how God uses them. Because they surely filled a gap in my understanding easily and from which I could now get back to study more and then realize Catholic Church has been right all along....

To be called Father is to be perfect like God!

I've called my male parent many things over our lives together, depending on my maturity at the time: dada, dad, daddy, papa, father, pere.

I found your channel through a FB post shared by a friend. I am so happy to have come across your channel. Thank you for sharing Catholic History and facts. This is the second video I watched today. I cannot wait to share your educational videos with my family. I was raised Catholic, my husband was not. It is good to have your videos to share with him when he has questions about my faith. Thank you for all you do Father! Peace be with you always.

Thank you Father ❤️✝️🇻🇦

Its really cool to see such videos. I feel priest should try to come on KZread and clear doubts. It's readily accessible. I have other doubts as well. Anyways peace be upon you.
