Scientists from Bulgarian Academy of Sciences support the unity of the Bulgarian Orthodox Church

The Assembly of Academicians and Corresponding Members of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, which unites all members from scientific and creative fields of the Academy, has adopted a Statement in support of the Bulgarian Orthodox Church - Bulgarian Patriarchate. 

The statement reads that the Assembly firmly and categorically declares "their support for the Bulgarian Orthodox Church - the Bulgarian Patriarchate, which is an inseparable member of the One Holy and Apostolic Church". Recalling the norms of religious canon law, the scientists from the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences point out that the Universal Orthodoxy recognizes only one Orthodox Church on the territory of a state, and this in Bulgaria is the Bulgarian Orthodox Church, called the Bulgarian Patriarchate.

The Assembly of Academicians and Corresponding Members of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences emphasizes that the Bulgarian Orthodox Church-Bulgarian Patriarchate is the sole legal successor of the Pliskov archbishopric, the Patriarchate of Preslav, the Archbishopric of Ohrid, the Patriarchate of Tarnovo and the Bulgarian Exarchate. It is united and indivisible.

In this sense, "the registration of a new Eastern Orthodox denomination within the diocese of the Bulgarian Orthodox Church - Bulgarian Patriarchate, with the misleading name "Bulgarian Orthodox Old Calendar Church" separated from the Bulgarian Orthodox Church-Bulgarian Patriarchate and the imposition of its non-canonicality, misleads Orthodox Bulgarians and poses a risk of disunity," the statement of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences further reads.
