Summary/Abstract: The article investigates the socio-cultural projections of the beatification of Evgeni Bossilkov, Bishop of Nikopol, which took place on March 15, 1998 in Rome. The controversial situation is mostly focused on the question of the West-European and American vision about Bulgaria, perceived from the point of view of the coverage of that beatification by the foreign information agencies. The source base of the investigation includes information from the foreign information agencies ANSA, ADNKRONOS, AFP, Reuter, AP, VPI, KNA, EFE of the February-March 1998 period, 1998 Bulgarian periodicals and ethnographic field material from centres of population inhabited by Bulgarian Catholics. The set of tools used includes, most generally, the methodology of the ethnographic field study and of comparative analysis.
