text: Hi Marilyn,
  You definitely got a dud priest there. The Indian priests we have locally are willing to learn from us locals and are humble. I do agree though that some can come with "superior" attitudes inherited from the Caste system. 
  The main problem though is what CommonCatholic above mentioned - priests with a difficult to understand accent. This is especially so for those who are 70 years or older, whom nowadays make up 75% of the congregation. They have aged-acquired hearing loss. Combine that with a church building with dodgy acoustics (mostly the ones that are square boxes), and the homily just becomes a muddle.
  (Those mediaeval church builders got it right with all those curves and columns. They couldn't rely on a PA system!).
  If Ireland imports foreign priests the wheel will have turned full circle. 50 years ago Catholics in a lot of English-speaking countries used to struggle with the broad Irish brogue of priests imported from Maynooth or All Hallows!
