A previous generation of USA bishops inveigled the Vatican to prevent Catholic Eastern rites from importing their married priests and families from accompanying their flocks to the US, as was their longstanding custom.  BAD move!  And that Roman mindset lives on, and on.  That's why I reserve the term "Father" for Eastern Rite Fathers, and Latin Rite priests who are married -- those who are not married are "Reverend" or "Monsignor" or (in one case) "Canon."
