Mandatory retirement is only 4 years away.

That will be an interesting one - His Emminence has to offer his resignation, but traditionally Cardinal Archbishops are kept on until they're 80 unless there's reason not to...let's keep an eye on what His Holiness does with this case.

If B-16 is still with us, I fully expect he will accept the mandatory resignation at 12:00am on Mahony's 75th birthday. He probably has a Vatican dossier of complaints as thick as that of my bishop and several others from the same class.
