An exaggerated statement not meant to be taken literally is called a hyperbole. It is often used for emphasis or to create a strong impression, rather than to convey factual accuracy. Hyperboles are common in everyday language, literature, and poetry to evoke emotions or illustrate a point dramatically.

Does this sentence contain a metaphor 'The quarterback threw the ball a mile.'?

We can assume that the quarterback didn't really throw the ball a mile, he just threw it a great distance, and it is an exaggeration to call that distance a mile, and that qualifies as a metaphor. Of course, there are also various science fiction and fantasy contexts in which that statement could be meant literally.

Why should I call a priest or pope father?

I can see why you would be confused, as Christ said "Call no man father." However, if this were meant to be taken literally, we would not be able to call our own fathers by the term "father." Priests and the pope are spiritual fathers to the people. I am adding a link that should also help to clear things up.
