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.

What it importance does it have for Jesus to call God 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 1:18 "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 20:29 "Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed." 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 “...whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.”
