Call No Man Your "father," Especially On Facebook

I hate Facebook, but regardless priests should be able to use thier title of Fr.

“The name you use should be your authentic identity; as your friends call you in real life,” it says.


This part made me laugh, sine I wouldn't dream of addressing a priest without his title. If I was a priest my mother wouldn't even call me by my first name. Facebook -like the majority of people- are ignorant of Catholic culture.

“It’s my heavenly vocation. I did not choose to be Father; God choose for me to be Father, plain and simple,” Father Imbarrato said. “Even my family members don’t call me Stephen. This is not some professional title, it’s a vocation in life.”

Bingo Fr.

A lot of fanatic people are using the facebook to promote their evil ideologies and facebook does not try to block them.  What's wrong with using the word " Father " in front of a priest ?
