I'm glad the Church has a mandatory retirement age for bishops. The U.S. Congress shows what happens when the requirement doesn't exist. People serve beyond their age-limited mental and physical capacity. Younger energy is blocked by those who won't leave. The institution begins to feel calcified.

I'd love to see an analysis on the number of US priests vs. the number of US bishops. The likely drain the episcopacy has been, and will be, on available priests is not negligible.
