A Macedonian documentary about the Metropolitan of Skopje -
At the mid of the 19th century,the resistance against the Greek clergy and the struggle for their removal from leading and authoritive role in the churches and schools led Skopje to renouncing the Constantinopole Patriarchate. The propaganda of the Bulgarian exarchate, formed in 1870, grafted on the Macedonian revival efforts. However, part of the Macedonian clergy never renounced the idea of forming the Macedonian Orthodox church within the empire, by restoring the Ohrid Archbishopric (abolished by the Turks). This idea was led by Skopje exarch Metropolitan Teodosij (Theodosius) Gologanov (1846-1926). His activity was stopped in the very beginning; in 1891, he was removed from his function in Skopje and in 1892, he was expelled from the town - - - http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Theodosius,_the_metropolitan_of_Skopje,_to_Pope_Leo_XIII
