Your frustration is understandable, and that priest's attitude is compounding the situation.
My advice would be to continue praying, attending Mass, and studying the Faith. Patience and persistence are sorely needed in situations such as yours.
As for the priest, if you are involved in the Church for any length of time, you will come across priests who are lacking in people skills. Many of them are good, holy men who happen to have that particular human flaw. On the other hand, you may come across seemingly caring, compassionate priests who are quite popular, yet are actually evil. The important thing is to not take it personally or allow it to impede your journey in Faith.
Jesus's Church is bigger than the frail humans you may encounter in Her.
Oh, and don't forget to pray for that priest.
