Canadian pastor Artur Pawlowski recounts his confrontation with Calgary police who entered his church to ensure COVID-19 guidelines were followed and compared them to the religious restrictions he saw when he was behind the Iron Curtain on Fox News Primetime grew up.
PAWLOWSKI: I grew up under a communist dictatorship behind the Iron Curtain, under the suitcase of the Soviets, and I’m telling you that it’s not nice at all. It was a disaster. Police officers can break into your house at five in the morning, they can beat you, torture you, they can arrest you for whatever reason they might come up with. There was a well-known saying in Poland – when I was growing up – by the police: “give me a man and we will find something about the man.” So it was like a flashback when those police officers showed up at my church. Everything came alive again from my childhood, and the only thing I could do was repel the wolves as a shepherd, and I use my voice to get rid of them.
They entered our rights illegally during the holiest days during the Passover celebration. How dare they? The audacity of those people who come. It was a shocking thing. I was a little shaken, but I did what every shepherd on planet Earth had to do – to ward off the wolves. We as lions should never bow before the hyenas, and that’s what they are now.
