Actually, Mahony and Brown are good friends, went to seminary together in Los Angeles, and were ordained out of the same class, in 1962.
They are two peas in a pod.
The good news is, they will come up for mandatory retirement at the same time, in seven years.
Seven LONG years.
After those 7 long years, when they do eventually come up for retirement, they'll probably be asked to stay on for 7 more.
