Richard,
I would assume that the priest either didn't want people to study things on their own and know the truth or he wasn't educated himself enough to answer the man's questions. If he didn't know the answers he should have just said he didn't know, but that he would be glad to find out. I'm sure some churches are afraid if people studied and learned the truth, they would leave their church and there would go all the priests' money.
