Priest Bojan rightly says that it is a political issue. The Synod is really in a difficult situation, because the church in Sofia cannot just be closed to the faithful. I am interested in how it will be resolved in the end, without further politicization.

Father Boyan is right, this is really politics, not faith. The church in Sofia has always been for people who go there to pray, and not for diplomats. I wonder how the Synod will manage to avoid closing the church and reduce the noise.

Father Boyan is right, it is clearly political. The church in Sofia has always been for people who want to pray, not for diplomatic games. I wonder how the Synod will get out of this without closing the door to the faithful.
