Silly.
"Macedonian BULGARIAN Orthodox Church"
Now, read this:
"The Bulgarian Exarchate was established on 28 February 1870 with a Firman
from the sultan as a result of the long struggle of the Bulgarian people for
church independence from the Greek Patriarchate. This struggle began in 1824
in the towns of Vratsa, Skopje and Samokov, but most active in it was the
Bulgarian community in Constantinople, a great part of which were Macedonian
Bulgarians.
The Firman granted the Exarchate the following eparchies: Ruschuk, Silistra,
Tirnovo, Lovech, Vratsa, Vidin, Sofia, Samokov, Kjustendil, Nish, Pirot and
Veles. It also decided that other eparchies could acknowledge the Exarchate
if 2/3 of their Christian inhabitants demanded this. A plebiscite was
conducted in Ohrid, Bitola and Skopje eparchies where the overwhelming
majority of the population chose to join the Exarchate. There was also a
demand for a plebiscite from the Salonica Bulgarians but it was not carried
out. The Exarchate was pressing for a plebiscite in the Debar, Strumitsa and
Kukush (Poljanino) eparchies when the Bulgarian insurections of 1875 and
1876 broke out. They and the Russo - Turkish war of 1877-78 exposed the
Bulgarians in the eyes of the Turks. Therefore the vote could not be
completed in Southern Macedonia and, where it had been completed, bishops
were not appointed to all of those eparchies (only Skopje and Ohrid). In the
course of the war the Bulgarian Exarch Antim I was exiled in Asia Minor and
replaced with Josif (1877). The bishops of the eparchies that remained in
Turkish hands after the war (Skopje, Veles, Ohrid) were driven away by the
authorities.
The attemp to restore them in 1884-85 failed on account of the resistance of
the Patriarchate, of Greece and of Serbia. Only in 1890 bishops could be
appointed in Skopje and Ohrid. Then followed Veles and Nevrokop (1894) and
Bitola, Debar and Strumitsa (1897). The other nine Bulgarian eparchies in
the Ottoman empire (Adrianople, Salonica, Drama, Serres, Melnik, Kukush,
Vodena, Maglen and Kostur) never saw Bulgarian bishops but only Exarchate
deputies who looked after the schools and represented the Bulgarian
population of the region before the authorities.
More prominent Bulgarian bishops who came from Macedonia were Partenij
Zografski of Poljanino (born in Galichnik near Debar), Panaret of Plovdiv
(born in the village of Patele near Lerin), Natanail of Ohrid and Plovdiv
(born in Kuchevishta, Skopje), Meletij of Sofia (born in Strumitsa) and
Metodij of Stara Zagora (born in Prilep).
Then let's show the people out there this:
