Bishop Roy was ordained by the SSPX in the early days of the Resistance, and immediately left and became sedevacantist (or vice-versa).
Then very shortly thereafter, he was consecrated bishop.
His priestly career is on a high trajectory, like a rocket. His name is basically "Peter King" Pierre = Peter, Roy = Roi = King.
How much time did he spend serving as a simple priest? He doesn't seem to be very satisfied, content, or happy with "the little things" or anything approaching a simple, humble life. He thinks big -- too big, in my opinion.
He is taking that "Peter" a bit too seriously, he's angling to become Pope (or at least an anti-Pope). Maybe not CONSCIOUSLY, but at least deep down. He has to know where this will lead.
Nominative determinism is real, boys and girls.

His name is certainly interesting, given what he's on about.
If we look at it more objectively, we have to admit that a vast swath of traditional Catholicism is just plain sick of the divisions. This was bound to happen sooner or later. I wish it had begun sooner, but, as a priest I always liked used to say, "There's a time for every grace."
As for nominative determinism, on the natural plane it may offer a powerful subconscious influence on the one so named. I've seen it happen with a criminal who had a rap sheet longer than an unwound large size roll of TP. His last name was Honesty!!! LOL!!!! The charges on his record were mostly crimes of moral turpitude like theft, false statement, bad checks, forgery, etc. I found it hilariously funny at the time.
On the supernatural plane, it may very well be a name God hath chosen for a person; a name which signifies that person's call in life. From the beginning I have believed that Bp. Roy is doing God's bidding, and certainly not because of Roy, per se. It is because the very same idea has been in my mind for decades. I have not been able to shake it.
