The New York archdiocese is one of twenty-two Latin sees in the United States with bishops older than 75, which is the mandatory retirement age. Eleven more dioceses will see their bishops turn 75 this year. When dioceses will be filled – and by whom – is one of the great guessing games and time-wasting exercises of professional and amateur Church watchers, and there is plenty to watch these days. Cardinal Dolan will remain archbishop until a replacement is named and installed.
