Joseph Sokolsky

Joseph Sokolsky

Joseph Sokolsky (?-1879) was the first Bulgarian clergyman converted to Catholicism and the pioneer of the Bulgarian Catholic Church of the Byzantine rite. Sokolsky negociated with Vatican a formal union due to Greek influences within Bulgarian Orthodoxy and gained the Catholic recognizement in 1861 when Pope Pius IX named himself bishop to Bulgarians of the Byzantine rite, being soon accepted by Ottoman Empire. However, Sokolsky has disappeared misteriosly being after that imprisioned in a Ukrainian monastery by eighteen years, when finally died under misterious circumstances. Sokolsky´s succession is now represented by Christo Proykov, current Exarch for all Catholics of Byzantine Rite in Bulgaria.
