A video showing a Christian minister telling Canadian police officers to leave his church when they reportedly tried to disrupt a service during Holy Week has gone viral.
“Nazis are not welcome here! … Do not come back, you Nazi psychopaths. Unbelievable sick, evil people. Intimidating people in a church during the Passover! You Gestapo, Nazi, communist fascists! Don’t you dare come back here!” Pastor Artur Pawłowski can be heard shouting at the officers, who reportedly did not have a warrant.
This is how you handle police who enter a church without a warrant. They’re lucky they only got a tongue-lashing: s. 176 of the Criminal Code makes it a crime to disturb a church service. Those @CalgaryPolice thugs were breaking the law (and knew it). pic.twitter.com/0XhAuwv0yg

Faith services in Calgary, Canada, are capped at 15% capacity due to coronavirus restrictions, though it’s unclear how many were in attendance of Pawłowski’s service.
The video of the scene has garnered more than 1 million views as of Sunday morning.
“Police came to disrupt Church gathering! Gestapo came again to intimidate the Church parishioners during the Passover Celebration!!! Unbelievable,” Pawlowski, who is originally from Poland, said in a caption of the video he posted to his Facebook page.
“Can you imagine those psychopaths? Passover. The holiest Christian festival of the year, and they’re coming to intimidate Christians during the holiest festival? Unbelievable. What is wrong with those sick psychopaths. It’s beyond me. How dare they,” he continued in the video.
“Unbelievable, we’re living in a total takeover of the government with their thugs, goons, the brown shirts, the Gestapo wannabe dictators,” Pawlowski said. “Coming to the church armed with guns and tasers and handcuffs to intimidate during Passover celebration? Well, I guess that’s what it is, they want to enslave us all like the Egyptians did. They want to be the pharaohs of today, that’s what they’re doing. Unbelievable. People, if you don’t stand up, wake up, I don’t know what will happen tomorrow.”

The officers were seen leaving the church after Pawłowski’s urging.
Some on social media pointed out that disrupting a church service is a crime in Canada. The Calgary Police Department did not immediately respond to the Washington Examiner’s request for comment on the matter.
