Non-Christians and Christian titles

[LifeIsGoodish]

If you're not a Christian, how would you address Father James, Brother John or Sister Mary? Especially when their names are not used, just their titles. After all, they're not your father, brother or sister, so it would be a bit weird to call them that.

I think the use of Father is also suggesting that the priest is taking the place of God/Christ. If you don’t believe this, then there is no need, even out of respect, to call him father. It’s a theological error.
