“y que no meresce nombre de padre el que habiendo engendrado
su hijo para este mundo, no lo engendra para el cielo.”
Luis de Granada, O.P., Guia de pecadores (1556-57), lib. 2, cap. 18 (Obras, ed. Justo Cuervo, O.P., tom. 1 (Madrid: 1906), p. 458). The sinner's guide, trans. F. Lewis (Philadelphia: Henry McGrath, 1844), 370: "nor does he deserve the bare name of father, who, after having begotten his son for this world, does not also beget him for the next."
I was put onto this by Jean-Pierre Batut, "Calling fathers 'father': usurping the name of God?" Communio: international Catholic review 36, no. 2 (Summer 2009): 306.
