“Orthodox and those groups…use the title “Father” as an honourific for their clergy.  Orthodox clergy all dress alike—the same black cassock, the same pectoral cross… the same Orthodox Faith is proclaimed by all the Orthodox clergy in the same way… Christ is our earthly Leader, and He has taught us that God in heaven is our Father.  We therefore call no man on earth our true and life-giving father apart from Him.”
