Based on recently published archival documents, the article presents the experience of the relatively small Catholic community in Bulgaria, with a view of the campaign for imposition of a new ‘socialist’ holiday system which was introduced in the early 1970s and affected all religious communities in the country. In the context of the Vatican’s “Ostpolitik”, this campaign attracted the interest and criticism of the pope John Paul II personally, especially due to the ban imposed on religious education of children under the age of 16. The article argues that this secularization policy was a proof of an unabated ideological zeal on the part of the Bulgarian authorities until the very end of the 1980s, as they continued to follow with the campaign despite international criticism for violations of religious freedoms.
