They are regarded as being the father of the flock over which they preside. They are only so as assigned by there church authorities. There is only one father and that is our Father in heaven.
All religious leaders have a responsibility to their flock. You have a responsibility to your family as patriarch or matriarch, but you also hold that responsibility for all who come after you. Adam is the father of all living and those who have yet to live.
Because the priest guides you like a father would.
I think because when your a priest they call you father because the priest is acting like God and teaching you about him so God is are father.
I think this is just one of the many errors of "religion". A lot of so called "Christian" religions have teaching and rites etc that were not found in the New Testament Churches.
Yes God is Jesus father. Jesus called him so.

Why we could not call any maan holy father is because we have a Father and his name is GOD/JESUS. If we call any man our holy father than what did they do for us to help us in anyway? GOD/JESUS died for us on the cross to save us from our sins, so that is why we call God/JESUS our Holy Father.
think of jesus like a lord and God/Father as a king
My Father
Catholics do call God father. Not to do so would be heretical as Jesus, himself, said we should address him as Our Father.
We need to know God as our heavenly Father, who supplies our every need. Even though we cannot see Him, God is always doing his best so that we can know Him in this regard. John 1:18Β "No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him." Besides redeeming mankind, Jesus Christ declared God to us. Jesus made God, whom no man had ever seen, known. Because of his example, we understand Godly qualities from a human perspective. John 20:29Β "JesusΒ saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed."Β Without seeing God, many have believed. Beyond all doubt, Jesus confirmed that God is our Heavenly Father, to whom we can pray and receive powerful answers. John 15:16 β...whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.β
Jesus prayed continuously, the Father's will, not His. His entire life was to be of service to the Heavenly Father, an example for all people on earth.
God Lord Jesus Father in Heaven are among the most common titles or names (in English) that different Christian groups use to call their god.
