Did Jesus mean that we should never refer to our earthly father as 'father' (Matthew 23:9)? Is it wrong for Catholics to refer to their priests as 'father'?

What does it mean to redeem a tithe and add a fifth to it?

One-fifth =1/5. So one-fifth of 100 = 1/5 x 100 = 20%. So instead of paying 5 out of 50, you add one-fifth and pay 10. 20% of 50 is 10. Thank you.
