Romeo refers to Friar Lawrence as a "ghostly father" because the friar is like a spiritual guide to him, offering advice and guidance in a time of crisis. The term "ghostly" can also imply a sense of otherworldliness or wisdom beyond the physical realm, highlighting the friar's role as a mentor and confidant to Romeo. Additionally, the friar's position as a religious figure adds to his perceived authority and influence over Romeo's decisions.

What critical piece of news does friar Lawrence hear from friar john?

Friar Lawrence sends a letter to Romeo, who is in Mantua, detailing his plan to fake the death of Juliet, and have Romeo bring her to Mantua where they can both live happily ever after. He gives the letter to Friar John, who is supposed to bring the letter to Romeo ASAP. Friar John never makes it to Romeo, because he was quarantined due to an outbreak of the Plague. Therefore, he brought the letter back to Friar Lawrence. This messed up Friar Lawrence' plan, as he had already set it in motion.
