Archbishop Kiril of the Bulgarian patriarchy resigned because of the
anger of the believers due to the fact that he came to church in a
Lincoln MKZ Hybrid car, The Orthodox Church reports. He explained
his resignation saying that he as if was dissatisfied with the
"insufficient activities" of the Synod of the Bulgarian Orthodox
Church. But experts concluded that Kiril, who wanted to become the
next Patriarch of Bulgaria, resigned because of his new luxurious car.
By the way, this limousine is the only one in Bulgaria. Kiril used to
boast of the fact that the car was built especially for him and only
the U.S. President has a similar one. He said he was not afraid of
checking because the money for the car does not belong to the church.
According to him, his friends helped him and bought the car in the U.S.
Unfortunately, it is a familiar story, isn't it? Probably, everyone
remembers the story of the Bentley of the Archbishop of the Ararat
Patriarchal Diocese Navasard Kjoyan. He used to state that the car
was a present by his godchild. Kjoyan is rumored to want to become
the next Catholicos of Armenia, and for this reason Echmiadzin is
divided into the supporters of Garegin and Navasard.
The only difference between these stories is that Navasard Kjoyan did
not resign after the Bentley scandal not because there are more than
one Bentleys in Armenia or it is a worse car than Lincoln, and not
because the believers were not angry. But just because the opinion
of the believers in Armenia does not matter either for the secular,
or for the religious leadership.
