[edit] Holy Father

Appears to be nothing more than a vehicle for pushing a POV. Also a Papal title, so someone keeps linking to this article from the phrase "Holy Father" in Pope, over repeated reversions, apparently to make some point. In fact, although "Holy Father" is occasionally used in prayer to address God the Father it's not usually thought of as one of his titles and occurs in the entire Bible exactly once. As an article on the Papal title is nothing more than a dicdef. TCC (talk) (contribs) 22:48, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

  • Redirect to Pope, and protect if necessary. Just zis  Guy, you know? [T]/[C] AfD? 23:24, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Redirect and protect if necessary, as above. Durova 23:29, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Redirect Soapbox. The article is making a subtle point that Catholics are in error to call the Pope Holy Father when Jesus calls our Father in heaven the Holy Father. Endomion 01:33, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Redirect to Pope, and protect if necessary. Note that contents is pure opinion, per Endomion, and no sources are cited to support that opinion. (I.e. no sources are cited to show that "Holy Father" has only one proper usage and meaning). Dpbsmith (talk) 13:34, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Redirect. I think it's maybe a bit much to call it a POV push, but it's certainly nowhere near WP standard. Stifle 23:54, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
