Bishop of Rieux and Carpentras

Pierre Roger was made Bishop of Rieux on May 15, 1353 , and Bishop of Carpentras on January 18, 1357 . During his time the oldest synagogue in France, still in use today , was built in 1361: he had the Jews own a synagogue ( uno escolo ), the dimensions of which he determined to be 4 x 4 toises carrées (about 61 square meters). Six years later, the same bishop granted the Carpentras Jews the right to have their own cemetery.

Archbishop of Auch and Narbonne

When his brother became Pope, he appointed him Archbishop of Auch (July 27, 1371) and Narbonne (August 27, 1375). At the end of his career he took on diplomatic missions for the Holy See: Ranieri Sardo, the chronicler of Pisas, reports of his presence at the Congress of Sarzana in March 1378 on the occasion of the negotiations between Gregory XI. and the city of Florence.

Traces of possible stays in Auch are small. The archives of the Département Gers keep under number AD 32, AA3, a letter of indulgence from Jean Roger to the Auxitans who desecrated the Sainte-Marie-d'Auch monastery .
