text: Regarding: "A father who berates his sons, abusive."
  - Archbishop Francis of Rome is first and foremost a bishop. It is a bishop's job to oversee the church and its ministers (cleric and laic) and to make sure that they are doing the work assigned to them.
  - The use of the word 'father' is smoke screen in as much as it expects certain behaviours that are best applied to heads of domestic churches / households of faith. As bishop, Francis' expects those working for the church to step up and act like adults. Adults do not need to be treated as if they are boys and girls who need a scolding by a 'father' or 'mother'. As adults in an organization their demeanor should be open and straightforward and not one of subterfuge and dishonesty.
  - Expecting any cleric to view cleric and laic ministers as 'sons' or 'daughters' is to demean those ministers as adults capable of executing their assigned tasks or failing at them.
