Борис Маринов 1 , е въпросът за историчността на Господ Иисус Христос 2. На тази база се появяват много ереси още в началото на християнство, когато е било своеобразно криптоизповедание. Но и след неговото официализиране, христологичните и триадологични

Historical Formation and Development of the Bulgarian Exarchate in Macedonia
After the erasure of the Ohrid Archbishopric, in the hands of the Patriarchate of Constantinople ... more After the erasure of the Ohrid Archbishopric, in the hands of the Patriarchate of Constantinople was not only the church life, but also the cultural and educational life of the Bulgarian population in Macedonia. Greek influence spread most in the big cities, which were metropolitan centers, while in the villages and monasteries it failed to take root. Due to its proximity to Greek territory, southern Macedonia is easier to Greekize. In order to preserve the Bulgarian people’s cultural and religious identity, the idea of the Bulgarians from Macedonia to establish an independent Bulgarian Orthodox Church, as a counterpoint to the experience of the Patriarchate of Constantinople for the Greekization of the Bulgarian population, was growing. Thus, after a long struggle against the Phanariot policy of the Ecumenical Patriarchate, in 1870 the Bulgarian church-national movement achieved its goal, establishing a Bulgarian church in the form of an Exarchate.

Negotiations for unification between Old Catholics and Orthodox began shortly after the establishment of the Old Catholic Churchas an independent church unit, which origin is from the Roman Catholic Church. The main reason for its separation from Roman Catholicismwas the newly accepted dogmas of the First Vatican Council by Roman Catholics, which contradict what was established by of the ancient Church,such as the dogma of the „infallibility of the pope“. Negotiations are a longprocess that has lasted almost a hundred years. And despite of the resultsachieved in synchronizing the dogmatic teaching, the desired unificationis not realized. Today, the dialogue is at a standstill, and the distance between Orthodox and Old Catholics seems to be insurmountable and final.

Ivan Yovchev
The theme about Archbishopric of Bulgaria in Ohrid is extremely relevant today, when disputes about its origin, identity and closure search the final resolution. This study is an attempt for a full disclosure of the truth on the basis of the available source materials. The main testimonies are the Chrysobulls of Basil II, which are a reliable historical source, although only their copies have reached us, not the originals. Undoubtedly, the Imperial Sigils played a very important historical role in the life of Bulgarian nation and church,
drawing the border between Bulgarian and Greek nations. This helped Bulgarians to preserve and consolidate their national instinct and aspiration for spiritual sovereignty.
Keywords: Archbishopric of Bulgaria in Ohrid, Chrysobulls (Sigils) of Emperor Basil II, Justinianа Prima, Historical Geography, Autocephaly
