B ULGARIAN Orthodox monasticism, at the beginning of the third millennium of Christ, is in extremely poor condition.
This situation is in all aspects in almost all monasteries in Bulgaria, and beyond. No particular importance is the type of ecclesiastical jurisdiction of the hermit communities - be they stavropigialni or diocesan.
for the plight of the Bulgarian monastic clergy have many causes - diverse and complex.
for the plight of the Bulgarian monastic clergy have many causes - diverse and complex.
more interesting is that this situation is not yesterday, not from yesterday. From the beginning of last century - after the middle of the first quarter of the 20th century began trend of reducing the number of Bulgarian ascetics, hermits and decrease the level of education of staff.
Nowadays we find increasingly less well informed monashestvashti across Bulgaria at the expense of increasing monks - performing activities of herdsmen, Bivolare, sveshtoleyari and others. neprosveti and unspiritual activities, not to mention the pearls from permanently recurring scandalous cases starting shooting with firearms and reaching desperate direct discrimination against disadvantaged persons.
Ie Most monasteries in Bulgaria are agricultural-livestock sveshtoproizvodstveni centers and scenes of public scandals than spiritual and literary and theological educational centers. Yet recall that not yesterday or the day before yesterday.
fact, the most dramatic of BOC everything said so far is that its leadership radiates precisely of monastic ENVIRONMENTS. Ie what is a monk now, this will be the leadership of Local Orthodox Churches. Although it should immediately be noted that only units of the current bishops and bishops were ever obshtezhitelnitsite monastic brothers, but rather only formal hermits. Which in turn might is better, albeit from a different perspective is on the edge, incl. outside the organizational rules of the church.
Therefore, almost alarming is the fact that "New" constitution of the BOC-BP from 2009 is provided, how the bishop should have lived at least three years in a monastery art. 83, para. 2, item 3, ie have dealt with the aforementioned unspiritual activities for three years.
quite separate, very important issue is how bishops and bishops of ministry outside the monastic residences continue to lead a life consistent with podvizhnicheskite vows. But this some other time.
on the state of monasticism and the situation of monastic brotherhoods in the last century wrote St. Tsankov, Bulgarian Orthodox Church thy deliverance to the present time, GBF section XVI, 6, 1938/39, the s.258-265.
