Padre
South Texas resort
Padre is Spanish and Italian for father, used in English primarily for a military chaplain or, in Catholic contexts, a priest.
Soldiers might speak of the padre without specifying denomination.
In casual address, padre can mean any older man, though this sounds dated: Hey, padre, got a light?
