In 1 Cor 4:15, Paul references himself to have "begotten" or being a "father" for others through the gospels in Jesus Christ.
The Catholic sense of "Father" echos that same usage.
"For though ye have ten thousand instructers in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel." - 1 Cor 4:15 KJV
I sometimes think of my father and realize for most of my life, he was the Godhead, at least to me. Then I wonder if that's how we got religion, all I see is a reflection of fatherhood romanticized.
I also would have a hard time conceiving of a genuine deity who would have a problem with that practice.
