Metropolitan Bishops Reaching Retirement Age
Several metropolitan bishops in the United States are turning 75 years old, signaling potential retirements within the hierarchy. The turnover of metropolitan archbishops often leads to further vacancies within dioceses, creating a ripple effect in leadership positions. The consideration of successors who align with the theological priors of the current members of the congregation for bishops, which includes a focus on more pastoral and sociotheological paradigms, is expected.
