Abstract:
This article examines phenomena that lead to the manifestation of modern morality in
Bulgaria and how aspects of this morality broke down during political changes. Included here
are not only the assessments of the dramatic changes after 1990, but also the impact of
globalisation on the social, political and Christian life in the country. The article considers
debates surrounding the cause and effect of the moral deficit in the society. From the
perspective of Christian ethics, the phenomena, political changes and its effects are assessed.
This is done by considering both the European context and Bulgaria’s own history.
