Wow. A Polish pastor at a church in Canada went viral after his blunt response to cops showing up at his church on Easter weekend, presumably to crack down on Covid restrictions.
The pastor, Artur Pawlowski, yelled at the police to “get out” and told them not to come back to Cave of Adullam Church unless they have a warrant.
“Police came to disrupt Church gathering! Gestapo came again to intimidate the Church parishioners during the Passover Celebration!!! Unbelievable.”

We need more religious leaders like this man. We haven’t seen it in the Catholic church and that scares me terribly.

I love this priest! I want him as Pope!

The arrogant priest obviously knows nothing of the law. There is no need for a warrant to enter a public space. Since churches are open to everyone, the police may enter and depart just like anyone else.

No they are not public spaces in that regard you may be asked
To leave a church or grocery store or any similar place by the rightful owner/operator of that space, Such as The store manager or the pastor . You can then be served with a trespassing notice which prohibits you from returning .

In defense of the “arrogant” pastor, may I point out that he was using his powers of observation and common sense. The police don’t simply show up at churches to hang out in the lobby and admire the carpets. He knew exactly why they were there, and God bless him for having the stones to rebuke them.
If he had done this in the USA, the pastor would have found himself face down on the ground with at least one boot on the back of his head and perhaps a taser probe sticking out of his helpless body. I appreciate the restraint of the Polish police. Such proper chagrin is completely foreign to American police officers.

That protestant pastor is not a priest. Very few Catholic priests would confront the police

It’s a shame and I agree

The pastor is not a priest and this did not occur in Poland.
