Maxim Hasn't Given His Consent for the Pope's Visit in "Alexander Nevski'

Bishops from the Holy Synod split again in two fractions.
Silvia Nikolova
Patriarch Maxim and part of his bishops in the Holy Synod are split in two fractions for the visit of Pope John Paul II in May. This transpired after the meeting with the legates yesterday. Archbishop Leonardo Sandrini - first deputy-secretary of the State Secretariat of the Vatican, and Archbishop Renato Bocardo handed a pope's letter to Father Maxim, where the Pontiff extended his thanks for the honor to visit Bulgaria. John-Paul II wishes to attend the service for May 24 in 'St. Al. Nevski' cathedral, the Rila Monastery, the city of Plovdiv and to hold talks with Patriarch Maxim. If His Holiness wants to pay me a visit during his coming here, he will be given the traditional Bulgarian hospitality. With that phrase Father Maxim tried to avoid answering the question, whether he would let the guest to 'St. Al. Nevski' cathedral at the service for May 24, as well as to the Bulgarian monastery. 'We take the decision at a synod, he excused himself. Neophyte, bishop of Dorostol - Cherven, however, hasted to get a level with him and explained to the journalists that the pope will be let both in the temple and in the Rila Monastery, if he would wishes to.
