January 5th, 2012
Bulgaria’s commission charged with announcing the names of people who collaborated with the country’s former communist-era secret services announced on January 17 2012 that 11 out of 15 members of the Bulgarian Orthodox Church’s governing body, the Holy Synod, had worked for State Security.
The commission also identified senior Roman Catholic clergy and Muslim leaders who had been communist secret service agents or who had collaborated.
Not among the Bulgarian Orthodox Church names was that of Patriarch Maxim, the church’s spiritual leader, who has headed the church for more than 40 years.
