If the priests represents Jesus, not God, then he shouldn't be called Father...as Jesus wasn't called Father.  And, he said call no one father...so why do we?  Give me a compelling, reasoned answer to this simple question, and maybe I will change my mind.  But the question has nothing to do with "a need to overhaul is is [sic] the liberal, secular, atheistic humanistic thinking that has infested the many of the minds of the faithful."
