Bob is just a "bad Dad". Don't be so judgmental.
We see that Christ acknowledged the high-priest Caiphas as legitimate mediator of God.- Our Lord answered him with the respect due to the OFFICE of high-priest. Caiphas was supposedly corrupt. Today we have the pope, Leo XIV, whom the vast majority recognize as the Pope, who is a sinner just like me and you.

Timothy 1, 15 -17
"... Beloved, this is a word worthy of faith, and which deserves to be welcomed without reservation: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the chief.

(written c. 397–400 AD) by St. Augustine of Hippo is a foundational text of Western literature and Christian theology in which the author openly admits his past as a sinful and prodigal man before his conversion to Christianity.

Key aspects of Augustine’s confession in the book include:
