      No, I did NOT write the Title for 37818!
      The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

        I'm not sure what the point is. Are you disagreeing with giving the pope that designation?

          Who'd accuse you of such a thing?

                Current college dictionaries has for Holy Father,
                Holy Father, n, a title of the pope.

                And this is besides any disagreement with that title. That is why this post was placed in the lobby.

                  Look up "Holy Father" in your college or unabridged dictionary.

                    It is true that I do disagree with addressing any church leader with the title of "Father." Let alone "Holy Father." My thinking is without changing peoples minds we can at the very least, correct the dictionaries.

                      Dictionaries describe how a word is used. Some people use the words that way so it will stay in the dictionary. Regardless of any truth or value.

                      Descriptive vs proscriptive.
                      Micah 6:8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?
