any other reasons you can think of for the moniker of Father for Priests?

Look it up in your concordance--I even got it from the NIV Study Bible--A perfect Protestant Bible.

What verse please?
I'm sure there is more to it.

Yes. He said that at 2 Cor. 4:15. However, he was not using the word "father" as a title. He was not telling anyone to call him father. If he had, it would go against what Jesus told his disciples to the contrary. See Matt. 23:9

"And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven"
Matthew 23:9
Just checked the Blue Letter Bible site

There is no verse along the lines you've described (use "father in christ" as the search line).
You'll have to do better than 'it's in there'.

Just symbolic since he brought them to Christ with the gospel.
