Bogomil heresy
In Zhitie (also Vita, 1362) - part of Vladislav's Rila Panegyrik St Teodosi was portrayed as solitary hermit, particularly active against Bogomil heresy. Bogomils, preached restraint and ascetism, but also argued that the state of all its activities were derived from the evil side of a dualistic universe, whilst the world of the soul and the spirit were product of 'good'; thus there was no sin in lack of respect or lack of commitment to the state.
