The next stage of the Pergamos Church went up into Bulgaria about 800 A.D. called Bogomiles. Their main persecution was by Greek Orthodox Church.
Bogomiles became prominent in twelfth century, but were no longer the true church. In middle of eighth century the Emperor Constantine Copronymus settled a number of Armenian Paulicians in Thracia. Were noted heretics persecuted by Greek Church.
More than 100,000 killed by Empress Theodora. In tenth century Emperor John Zinnsces of Armenian origin, transplanted over 200,000 additional to Europe near Philippopolis (European Turkey) along Balkans. Thrace first, Macedonia second, Bulgaria next.
By the time they became well known they were no longer the true church. Basil, their leader, killed in 1118. Bogomiles moved, following mountain chains of Central Europe, and were in South France in twelfth century and known as the Albigenses-Pasagianes.[DOUBLEPOST=1480010966][/DOUBLEPOST]
@MIKI1 бугари, грци... сите тие цркви на кој што им се лиже МПЦ, сите тие биле одговорни за убивање на Богомилите... 10.000 на душа да носиш не е малку

Gnosticism in the 7th to 13th Century
But the gnosis lived on. Its light and power shone, for example, in the community of the Bogomiles who primarily lived in Bulgaria during the 12th and 13 Century and imparted their gnostic heritage to the Cathars in southern France. These two purely gnostic oriented communities suffered the same fate as their predecessors. Untold thousands of them were persecuted, tortured, and killed by the so-called “orthodox”.
