PRL '81: Father Jerzy Popiełuszko replaces Grigori

This mod replaces the default HL2 Grigori model with that of The Blessed Father Jerzy Popiełuszko[en.wikipedia.org] - a Polish Roman Catholic priest, supporter of the Solidarity Movement and a staunch opponent of the communist regime. Kidnapped in 1984 by the Security Service, beaten to death and dropped into the Vistula Water Reservoir.

Not in this timeline however. Horrified by the WRON's much more brutal handling of the Martial Law, he took refuge in the town of RavenholmWałbrzych, where he provided spiritual guidance to the growing community of escapees. When the town was ultimately shelled with headcrab canisters, witnessing his congregation be turned into horrifying monsters, he presumably went mad and disappeared into the shadows. Those who dare venturing into the ruins and return, speak of noise sounding like sermons accompanied by gunfire, heard to this very day...

P.S.: I hope that he at least slightly resembles the real guy. He ended up being surprisingly difficult to make.
Also, I am aware that plenty of people wanted Jan Paweł II instead. However, even in this insane timeline, having a literal Pope being basically imprisoned somwhere in Communist Poland would be teeny-tiny problematic, to say the least. This however does not rule out me making him anyway in the future.
