The Holy Synod of the Bulgarian Orthodox Church will gather on Wednesday to discuss the objections against the recent appointment of Varna Bishop Kiril as interim Patriarch.
On November 10, Kiril received support from 7 of the 12 attending metropolitans in a secret vote, making him the interim head of the Church. He is now also serving as interim Sofia metropolitan bishop.
Plovdiv Bishop Nikolay also voiced his objections to the appointment of Kiril.
Bulgaria's Patriarch Maxim, who had led the Church since 1971, passed away last week at the age of 98.
