On a bishop's 75th birthday, they are required to submit their resignation to the Pope, as mandated by Church law. This practice reflects the expectation for bishops to step down at this age, allowing for new leadership. However, the resignation is not automatically accepted; many bishops continue to serve for several more years, depending on the needs of their diocese and the discretion of the Pope.
