Take it in context.
Jesus is clearly talking about calling religious leaders by the title *Father*.
Additionally, the argument doesn't hold water because even if everyone around the world disobeys the command and calls their father *Father* of Dad, or Abba, or whatever, how does that justify the church and Catholics disobeying the clear command of Jesus?
Everyone else is wrong and sins, so we can too? No big deal?
Did Jesus tell us not to call religious leaders *Father * or not? Then how does one excuse, or justify, disobedience?
And just for kicks and giggles, just what would you propose a child call his male parent?
Hey you? Sir? Husband of my mother? Male Parental Unit?
Beyond that He is reproving the love of titles, and uses hyperbole to do so. In so doing the Lord is not rejecting calling any man father, or even one referring to himself as being a father in the spiritual sense, as Paul did to Timothy, "my own son in the faith," (1Tim. 1:2; cf. 1 Cor. 4:17) and Corinthians, "for I have begotten you through the gospel." (1 Cor. 4:15)
Nor is calling one a master forbidden, which slaves are enjoined to obey, but it is the love of titles such as seen in Rome that is censured, in which, besides distinctively titling clergy "priests" contrary to Scripture, they are all supposed to be called "father" even by those they have not begotten through the gospel, which they do not do anyways, being in need of conversion themselves.
