I stopped calling priests "father" after the abuse scandal broke.  Fathers protect  children.  Many priests looked the other way when their colleagues harmed children, and the men at top, who claim the ultimate title of "Holy Father" universally participated in the cover-up that enabled predators to have long and damaging careers.  They don't merit the title.  Which, of course, is a tradition grafted onto the church, but now elevated to some special status by repeat usage.
