Call no man father.

Hello all,
On another topic, the Esteemed Julabee Jones is castigating Catholics roundly for calling priests, father.
She bases that opinion on Jesus' injunction, "call no man father". Now I don't see any qualifications there. Jesus didn't say, don't call priests father. He said
And call no man your father upon the earth.... Matthew 23:9
Yet, I've met no one, Protestant or Catholic, who doesn't call their dad, father. Except a few disrespectful children.
So I was wondering, what do you call your father? A question, by the way, which the sweet Julabee, has yet to answer.
Sincerely,
De Maria
