"Vazrazhdane" will submit amendments to the Law on Religious Denominations, the party's press center reported, quoted by the Bulgarian National Radio. According to the party, the changes will protect the Bulgarian Orthodox Church as the only one of its kind.
"Today we will begin work on an amendment to the Law on Religious Denominations, with which only the Bulgarian Patriarchate will have the right to use the phrase "Bulgarian Orthodox Church", and we will explicitly specify that it cannot be used by other religious organizations.
The bill will be submitted on the first possible working day - December 30", wrote the party chairman Kostadin Kostadinov on Facebook.
Yesterday, the Supreme Court of Cassation finally ruled on the registration of the Bulgarian Orthodox Old Style Church. Its main characteristic is that it does not accept the change in the church calendar of 1968 and continues to observe the Julian calendar - the so-called. "old style", hence its name.
