Don Jordovsky is an Ekklesiovskian bishop and statesman. Jordovsky has served as the Vicar-General of Ekklesiovsk since 3022, and previously served as Vicar-General for Pontifex Rokossovsky from 3016-3019.
Jordovsky is one of few known as a moderate on the Ekklesiovskian political spectrum, and is extremely influential amongst both political affiliations in the College of Cardinals. As Cardinal-Vicar, he is one of the highest ranking cardinals, alongside the Cardinal-Dean, Vice-Dean, and Chamberlain. His inaction during the December Crises has led to accusations of being a coconspirator with Talbot Roberts and Yuri Lenkov in the December Crises, however Pontifex Konstantin IX has denied all such accusations on behalf of Jordovsky, immediately instating him as his Vicar-General following Lenkov's betrayal.
The moderate
Jordovsky is unusual politically in Ekklesiovsk in advocating for taking aspects of both traditionalism and universalism in the governments approach to various issues. This has led to criticism of Jordovsky from the historically more numerous traditionalist faction, who view any degree of departure from traditionalist dogma with skepticism. In particular Jordovsky was a victim of the 3021 cabinet purges by Konstantin IX, being briefly politically exiled to the Xel-Palmas alongside Roberts. Ultimately however Jordovsky has remained to be seen as a bridge figure between the factions in the church, and often been called to forge a middle path between polarized solutions.
Jordovsky's reappointment as Konstantin IX's Vicar-General was largely seen as an act to appease remaining universalists in the church following the December Crises.
