I was speaking to an African woman yesterday. In think Swahili is her native language. She said a lot of African nations have French as the official language that most people speak. I know she said Congo was one, not sure what other areas. So that would make sense as far as the OP goes, African man speaking French.
I know that French is spoken an some African nations. Most people know this.
The gentleman who did the first reading did not speak the language he was reading - it just seemed like he was reading it (I am sure he practiced beforehand but it was obviously not his native language). Nothing against him for doing that and, like I have posted several times, the whole foreign language issue in and of itself was no big deal. Anyhow - whether he speaks the language or not is not the point. The priest's smirky comment is the point.
