Paulician doctrines are disseminated among the Macedonians, Bulgarians, and Greeks, especially among the peasants, and it seems that they contribute to the development of the doctrines and practices of the Bogomils, who first appear in Bulgaria in the early tenth century.
So called after their founder, the priest Bogomil, the Bogomils represent a fusion of dualistic, neo-Manichaean doctrines imported especially from the Paulicians, and a local Slavonic movement aimed at reforming, in the name of an evangelical Christianity, the recently established Bulgarian Orthodox Church.
