Cardinal Newman, in his book, "The Development of the Christian Religion," admits that ... "Temples, incense, oil lamps, votive offerings, holy water, holidays and season of devotions, processions, blessing of fields, sacerdotal vestments, the tonsure (of priests and monks and nuns), images ... are all of pagan origin..." (Page 359).
@kiwichristian2009 Are you seriously sitting in your plush computer chair, judging a man who literally gave his life to bring comfort to those dying from lepresy, all because people called him "father". Actions speak louder than words my friend.
@iscream4food Absolutely not. Show me where i judged you? All i did was quote the Word of God, which judges you, not me. Yes,actions do speak louder than words. If you look at historical facts and records, you will see the actions of the roman catholic "church" are unbiblical, anti-biblical and anti-Christian. Acts4:12. "Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”
Blessed Father Damien was surely a man of God and is now been canonized by the Church.

God forbids us from calling religious leaders as "Father" in Matt. 23:9
