text: Regarding: "I understand that Protestants do not regard him as father but to Catholics he is our Holy Father."
  - That anyone is holy is entirely dependent on God's own mercy and creative acts.
  - That 'father' is used as a title is a misguided tradition that needs to fade into dust. Francis' office is archbishop. It is customary in our church to use the name of the office as title. You may  call Francis archbishop.
