My impression is that his wife who is Spanish must not have converted, and there's a big chance that his children are catholic as well. (I remember that the marriage of one of his children -I think his daughter's- was catholic, although done in Bulgaria).
If so, I think that, should Simeon and his family have real aspirations to the throne, they should align themselves with the religious practices of the majority of the Bulgarians, and the history of the country,and convert to Eastern orthodoxy (I mean his family, because i think he remains orthodox). Otherwise they will always seem 'foreign' to a part of the Bulgarians.

I don't know much detail about it, and am new here, so the comments of anybody who can enlighten me in this subject are so welcome.

Just because Simeon's children married Catholics doesn't mean they are Catholics themselves.
