A lot of Protestants say that since Jesus said to "call no man your Father on Earth," it meant that priests shouldn't be called Father. Why is there this misconception?

I’m 27 years old and 5’2”. Since around the age of 21 or 22, I’ve struggled with intense feelings that I’m unattractive, particularly that there is something wrong with my face and height. A lot of my insecurity comes from comparing myself with people, and even my own family. I often feel like I’m the short, less attractive one in my family, and I find myself thinking about it far more than I want to. How should I understand this struggle from a Catholic perspective? Is there something I may be missing about how God sees me or how I should see myself? And how would you recommend that I pray or respond when these thoughts become overwhelming? I would also be open to seeking professional help, but I would really value guidance from a priest about how to approach this as a Christian.

Would going to haunted houses that use overtly gory or occult images and themes be considered sinful? I've been invited by a friend to go to Universal for Halloween Horror Nights, and some of the houses seem pretty intense.

My question is this: I was married for 10 years to a man who, during that last year, had a mistress who was also married. My husband and the woman conceived a child, which they passed off as belonging to her husband. I have been hearing about soul ties from exorcists and other priests. Since this was going on during our last year of marriage (later annulled), is it possible that I have a soul tie with my husband's mistress and through her, her husband, and the child?

My territorial parish recently began using a version of the Stations of the Cross in which the first station is Jesus praying in the Garden of Gethsemane, and the traditional stations depicting Jesus’ falls are omitted. Is this the Scriptural Way of the Cross introduced by Pope St. John Paul II in 1991, and is there a push to replace the traditional Stations?
