What I like about Father Barron is that despite his erudition and the fine education that underlies his arguments, he presents his knowledge in a clear, unaffected style and unadorned Illinois accent that make his conclusions simple to grasp. As you listen, you don’t notice him sneaking up on you.

That's a great way of putting it.

For some "brilliant" and "lofty" speakers, you need a translator to tell you what they are trying to say.    Not all speakers can communicate as clearly as Father Barron.
