[ noun ] an informal term for a father; probably derived from baby talk

Used in print

(Louis Zara, Dark Rider....)

Somewhere , beyond , where shadows lurked , must be the yawning pit of which Papa preached and the dreadful Lake_of_Fire .

There was no church like Drew_Church , no preacher like Papa , who was intimate with Him , and could consign sinners to hellfire .

To know God he must follow in Papa 's footsteps .

The veterans , idling on their benches in the Square , beneath the soldiers ' monument , got_to_their_feet when Papa approached : `` Morning , Reverend '' !

His being and His will - Stevie could not divide God from his Papa - illumined every parish face , turned the choir into a band of angels , and the pulpit into the tollgate to Heaven .
